Abaidoo, Kodwo

Black Fury [INSCRIBED TO DENZEL WASHINGTON]

Accra, Ghana: Woeli Publishing Services, 1995. First edition. A derivative political thriller by the African novelist, Kodwo Abaidoo - his second book - in which black nationalists from Malangada, South Africa, use assassination and other terrorist measures in cities from Philadelphia to Cologne to put pressure on the minority white government. More interesting than the book itself is the lengthy presentation inscription from the author to actor Denzel Washington, in which he praises the actor’s performance in "Cry Freedom" and inquires whether he and Spike Lee could turn Black Fury into a feature length film.

8vo. Perfect-bound, illustrated wrappers, 301 p. PRESENTATION INSCRIPTION to half-title page. Some light wear to wrappers, else VG+. Item #03344
