The Harlem cycle
I had to give up halfway through A Rage in Harlem. I couldn't understand why his books are remembered. As crime writing it was far inferior to the likes of Chandler, Hammett, James Ellroy or Jim Thompson. As gritty, authentic writing about African-American street life it is far inferior to Iceberg Slim. I just couldn't be arsed to keep reading the stupid, implausible plot and shitty prose. In the introduction by Melvin Van Peebles Himes doesn't seem to take himself too seriously as a writer, writing exactly the word count he has to deliver and nothing more, and he refers to his books as action novels so I don't see why we are supposed to take him seriously as a novelist. Oh wait, I do. The French discovered him first.
