Seven years have gone by and three novels have appeared since the publication of "How To Make Love To a Negro" catapulted Dany Laferriere to instant celebrity. Now Laferriere returns to the arena of "How To Make Love To a Negro" in this searing, often hilarious look at the great Whore of Success. Is it possible to be a writer when women stop you on the street and make you justify the title of your first book? What happens to a serious young black writer when his media persona takes over? Sex, race, fame and Laferriere covers all the bases. At the same time, he explores black culture, never afraid to take on black icons-Spike Lee, Miles Davis, Magic Johnson, Toni Morrison - and stand them on their heads. Fiercely independent, piercing, insolent, and always well no wonder he's been compared to James Baldwin and Charles Bukowski.
