Requiem for Harlem

En la cubierta posterior: "Ira stigman breaks with his family and his past, and leaves for the sophistication of Greenwich village. The polarization of his life has never been more extreme. On the one hand there is his friendship with Edith Welles, a professor of English whose influence leads him to poetry and the life of the mind; on hte other hand there is the disgust he feels towards his poverty, his hatred of his father and the spectre of his relationship with his cousin Stella, who Ira fears might be pregnant. This impassioned novel brings to a conclusion one of the most extraordinary literary and spiritual odysseys of our time".
