Banjo. A novel without a plot
14.99 €
The novel Banjo by the Jamaican-born American writer Claude McKay (1890-1948) is one of the works that launched the Harlem Renaissance movement. Autobiographically, Mackay's protagonist, musician Lincoln Agrippa Daly, nicknamed Banjo, hangs around Marseilles in the company of pimps, poor, black men living away from their homeland, seeking pleasure and adventure. The novel is peppered with multinational and memorable types of people the author met during his travels around the world. This book is both a fervent manifesto, a censure of racial prejudice, but also a lively, vivid description of the everyday life of colorful Marseille vagabonds who find themselves in comical situations.
