Blurb: “THE RED AND THE BLACK
Hamadryas, the far-sighted baboon, could see it all: The Reverend Rookie was working up a sermon replete with strobes, bongos, and psychedelic effects. Big Sally was exercising her Ph.D. in Black English. Rusty was fired up with ambitions to play tennis, express herself, and visit motels. And everywhere Louisiana Red was working its insidious Business. Now Ed, founder of the Solid Gumbo empire, was dead —mysteriously, savagely, and eternally. It was clearly a case for Papa LaBas, private eye and noonday HooDoo....
THE LAST DAYS OF LOUISIANA RED, a highly acclaimed literary achievement that is also one of the most outspoken satires yet published in America, exposes in metaphor the hypocrisy by which the contemporary political and social scene simultaneously betrays and characterizes itself.
