This story of a man living every day in fear of his life for simply
being black is as powerful today as it was when it was first
published in 1947. The novel takes place in the space of four days
in the life of Bob Jones, a black man who is constantly plagued by
the effects of racism. Living in a society that is drenched in race
consciousness has no doubt taken a toll on the way Jones behaves,
thinks, and feels, especially when, at the end of his story, he is
accused of a brutal crime he did not commit. "One of the most
important American writers of the twentieth century ...[a] quirky
American genius..."--Walter Mosley, author of Bad Boy Brawly Brown,
Devil in a Blue Dress "If He Hollers is an austere and concentrated
study of black experience, set in southern California in the early
forties."--Independent Publisher
