Requirements: ePUB Reader, 1.9MB | Retail
Overview: Rudolph Fisher was an African-American physician, radiologist, novelist, short story writer, dramatist, musician, and orator.
His first published work, “City of Refuge", appeared in the "Atlantic Monthly" of February 1925. In 1932 he wrote "The Conjure-Man Dies," the first novel with a black detective and a cast of only black characters. He was an active participant in the Harlem Renaissance, primarily as a novelist.
A well-written tale of African rituals, a mysterious murder, and hidden identities, full of twists and great characters, "The Conjure-Man Dies" reads like a classic detective novel of the Golden Age. A mysterious African man named Frimbo works as a fortune-teller in Harlem and dies in the middle of a conversation with one of his clients. It is an impossible crime scenario reminiscent of the best practitioners of the genre, yet adapted to Fisher’s concerns as a Harlem Renaissance novelist.
