The Freelance Pallbearers by Ishmael Reed

The Freelance Pallbearers by Ishmael Reed

Ishmael Reed's electrifying first novel zooms readers off to the crazy, ominous kingdom of HARY SAM - a miserable and dangerous place ruled for thirty years by Harry Sam, a former used car salesman who wields his power from his bathroom throne. In a land of a thousand contradictions peopled by cops and beatniks, black nationalists and white liberals, the crusading Bukka Doopeyduk leads a rebellion against the corrupt Sam in a wildly uproarious and scathing satire, earning the author the right to be dubbed the brightest contributor to American satire since Mark Twain (The Nation).
