When the manuscript was found, edited, and published first in France, it was widely regarded as a masterwork. Completed from the author's notes by two editors, Michel Fabre and Robert E. Skinner, who also introduce this edition, \u003ci\u003ePlan B \u003c\/i\u003eis an excoriating statement about the deep, corrosive effects of racism and an apocalyptic vision of Black rebellion that thrusts Himes's cherished detectives directly into the fray.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChester Himes began his writing career while serving in the Ohio State Penitentiary for armed robbery from 1929 to 1936. From his first novel, \u003ci\u003eIf He Hollers Let Him Go \u003c\/i\u003e(1945), Himes dealt with the social and psychological repercussions of being black in a white-dominated society. Beginning in 1953, Himes moved to Europe, where he met and was strongly influenced by Richard Wright. It was in France that he began his best-known series of crime novels--including \u003ci\u003eCotton Comes to Harlem\u003c\/i\u003e (1965)--featuring two Harlem policemen. As with Himes's earlier work, the series is characterized by violence and grisly, sardonic humor. He died in Spain in 1984.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 8 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 13, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50330963476717,"sku":"9780593686133","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0020\/8918\/9441\/files\/UKYxTQwhTU9780593686133.webp?v=1784942403","url":"https:\/\/www.webster.direct\/en-gb\/products\/plan-b-paperback-1","provider":"Webster.Direct","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
