The stories from the 1970's tend to be morality fables in support of the anti-revisionist communist movement. Not interesting for the most part, with a lot of flat satirical portraits of the Black bourgeoisie. I should also note that there is some minor homophobia and sexism, that reflects the era. The book then transitions into more ambiguous territory in the 1980's with a mixture of more daily life narratives and satire, and moves into more experimental writing that mixes considerable amounts of poetic form into the narrative. For the most part, those are the texts that are most interesting, and the ones that I feel that I need to reread. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Comprising short fiction from the early 1970s to the twenty-first century--most of which has never been published--Tales of the Out & the Gone reflects the astounding evolution of America's most provocative literary anti-hero. The first section of the book, "War Stories," offers six stories enmeshed in the vola-tile politics of the 1970s and 1980s. The second section, "Tales of the Out & the Gone," reveals Amiri Baraka's increasing literary adventurousness, combining an unpredictable language play with a passion for abstraction and psychological exploration. Throughout, Baraka's unique and constantly changing literary style will educate readers on the evolution of one of America's most accomplished literary masters of the past four decades.
