The Pequod Review:

Chester Himes (1909-1984) was one of the more fascinating American literary figures, and one of the few mystery writers of color. The Several Lives of Chester Himes is a useful biography of Himes, however Lawrence Jackson surpassed it with his 2017 book Chester B. Himes: A Biography.
