The fiction of Leroi Jones/Amiri Baraka

"LeRoi Jones, later known as Amiri Baraka, is most famous for his plays, poetry, and music writings, but he also published one novel, The System of Dante's Hell (1965), and one collection of short stories, Tale (1967). This volume includes both of these long-out-of-print masterpieces, and supplements them with four previously uncollected stories and a previously unpublished novel entitled 6 Persons (1973-74).

For the first time under one cover, then, here is the collected fiction of one of America's greatest writers."--BOOK JACKET.
