    <![CDATA[&#8220;If you're black you don't need to get at anything. You're already there. You can live right out of your insides.&#8221; So says the antihero of this legendary novel that reimagines the Bible&#8217;s prodigal son as a young black man in post-Civil Rights-era America. George Washington&#8212;one of his many aliases&#8212;is a classic trickster figure, a blend of con artist, deep thinker, and willing object of white women&#8217;s sexual fantasies. Fed up with life in racist America, he leaves his rural South for Denmark on a curious quest, determined to discover if there is &#8220;any mother fucker in this despiteful world who ever told himself the truth.&#8221; In Denmark he spends his days bantering with fellow black expatriates and his nights bedding a series of white women who project their desires on him. Inevitably, these worlds collide, with Washington, aka Anthony Miller, aka Paul Winthrop, aka Mr. Jiveass Nigger, increasingly alienated in a world of opportunists. A return to America after his self-imposed exile promises transformation, but is Washington too far gone? Cecil Brown brings blistering prose, unabashed eroticism, and biting satire to this controversial masterpiece that&#8217;s as timely today as when it was first published.]]>
