Comprising short fiction from the early 1970s to the
twenty-first century-most of which has never been
published-Tales of the Out & the Gone reflects the
astounding evolution of America's most provocative literary
anti-hero.
The first section of the book, "War Stories," offers six
stories enmeshed in the vola-tile politics of the 1970s and
1980s. The second section, "Tales of the Out & the Gone,"
reveals Amiri Baraka's increasing literary adventurousness,
combining an unpredictable language play with a passion for
abstraction and psychological exploration.
Throughout, Baraka's unique and constantly changing literary
style will educate readers on the evolution of one of
America's most accomplished literary masters of the past
four decades.
