A circle of intellectuals in 1930s Harlem face dual threats: the Fascist invasion of Ethiopia and the charms of a Communist infiltrator. This book has a fascinating premise and plot but due to its status as a “lost manuscript,” it could use a twice- or thrice-over by a good editor.
“Harlem is the stamping ground of false prophets” (110)
