"A Rage in Harlem"
On 11 March, Kaite Stover led a group in discussing Chester Himes' seminal mystery novel, "A Rage in Harlem." Published in 1957, the novel is the first to feature Himes' two Harlem police detectives, Gravedigger Jones and Coffin Ed Johnson. We had a spirited discussion, with participants bringing a lot of their personal knowledge about the South (though the story is set in Harlem, a lot of the backstory is set in Mississippi). This was part of the Winter Reading Program and part of the Bluford Grand Re-opening.
