Description

|
|
|
The author of The Wretched of the Earth, philosopher, psychiatrist, and political activist Frantz Fanon (1925–61) was an outspoken force against racism and oppression in the French-speaking world, and inspired such activists as Steve Biko, Che Guevara, and the Black Panthers. In this multilayered, fictional examination of his legacy, John Edgar Wideman first offers anecdotes of Fanon, then studies him through the research of a character named Thomas who is preparing a screenplay about Fanon for director Jean-Luc Godard. Finally Wideman enters the story himself, writing about his brothers, his aging mother, and his obsession with Fanon. "By the end of this thrilling, important novel, which is by turns eloquent, despairing and heartbrokenly hopeful, Fanon has come to be more than a revolutionary."—NYTBR
