McKay's  second  novel  in which, according to the  dustwrapper  flap,

comes."  McKay,  a leading figure of the Harlem Renaissance,  was  the
first  African-American to receive the medal of the Institute of  Arts
and  Sciences.  Some crimping to top of spine and small, not  terribly
noticeable  holes along front joint. Hence, Very Good in an attractive
dustwrapper  with small chips at the head of the spine and one at  the
front  panel  near the spine edge. Very Good in an at least Very  Good
dustwrapper.                                                   $950.00
