Mumbo Jumbo

By Ishmael Reed · Published by Penguin Classics

In 1920s America, a plague of free expression sweeps from New Orleans to New York, driven by black artists whose art ignites an irresistible urge to dance, sing, and laugh. As the state attempts to suppress this cultural revolution, Harlem’s private eye and Vodum priest Papa LaBas emerges as a pivotal figure, holding the potential key to understanding and harnessing this powerful force. This novel is a vibrant fusion of jazz, ragtime, ancient myth, magic, and conspiracy thriller, offering a satirical and anarchic take on the timeless struggle for artistic freedom. Why You Should Read? A unique blend of satire, myth, and conspiracy thriller that challenges societal norms. Captures the vibrant spirit of 1920s Harlem and the cultural renaissance of the era. Offers a thought-provoking exploration of free expression and its impact on society. Perfect for readers who enjoy postmodern fiction and stories with a rich cultural tapestry.
