the last book I ever read (The Long-Legged Fly: A Lew Griffin Novel by James Sallis, excerpt four)

from The Long-Legged Fly: A Lew Griffin Novel by James Sallis:

There’s an old novel called Black No More, about a scientist who invents a cream that’s able to turn black people white and the social havoc this brings about, written in the thirties by George Schuyler, a newspaperman. When I was a kid, Dad always used to grin when any of his friends mentioned it. And Mom said she’d whip me if she ever caught me reading it. Till I did, I thought it was about sex.
