CROUCH, Stanley.
The All-American Skin Game, or the Decoy of Race.
The Long and Short of It, 1990-1994.
First Edition. Collection of controversial journalism, partial and proud of it. Here on Miles Davis; "Beyond the terrible performances and the terrible recordings, Davis has become the most remarkable licker of monied boots in the music business, willing now to pimp himself as he once pimped women when he was a drug addict", whereas "Even under ruthless scrutiny, [Dizzy] Gillespie becomes a mythic figure..." This copy inscribed on the front free endpaper, "To Gay Splain - Victory is assured, Stanley Crouch, 1995/November/10, Pittsburgh."
Octavo. Original black cloth-backed board in dust jacket. Near fine in unclipped jacket.
