The pioneering novel of physical disability, transatlantic travel, and black international politics. A vital document of black modernism and one of the earliest overtly queer fictions in the African American tradition. Published for the first time. A Penguin Classic A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice/Staff PickVulture's Ten Best Books of 2020 pick Buried in the archive for almost ninety years, Claude McKay's Romance in Marseille traces the adventures of a rowdy troupe of dockworkers, prostitutes, and political organizers--collectively straight and queer, disabled and able-bodied, African, European, Caribbean, and American. Set largely in the culture-blending Vieux Port of Marseille at the height of the Jazz Age, the novel takes flight along with Lafala, an acutely disabled but abruptly wealthy West African sailor. While stowing away on a transatlantic freighter, Lafala is discovered and locked in a frigid closet. Badly frostbitten by the time the boat docks, the once-nimble dancer loses both of his lower legs, emerging from life-saving surgery as what he terms "an amputated man." Thanks to an improbably successful lawsuit against the shipping line, however, Lafala scores big in the litigious United States. Feeling flush after his legal payout, Lafala doubles back to Marseille and resumes his trans-African affair with Aslima, a Moroccan courtesan. With its scenes of black bodies fighting for pleasure and liberty even when stolen, shipped, and sold for parts, McKay's novel explores the heritage of slavery amid an unforgiving modern economy. This first-ever edition of Romance in Marseille includes an introduction by McKay scholars Gary Edward Holcomb and William J. Maxwell that places the novel within both the "stowaway era" of black cultural politics and McKay's challenging career as a star and skeptic of the Harlem Renaissance.

I absolutely love these floating shelves.
Color: White, Size: 15.7 inch, Color: White, Size: 15.7 inch
I absolutely love these floating shelves. The design is modern and elegant, perfect for adding both style and organization to a bathroom or any room in the house. They feel very sturdy and well-made, and the white finish looks clean and matches any décor. The metal rails are a great touch and help keep items from falling.
I use them to organize bathroom essentials like wipes, cotton pads, and toilet paper, as well as decorative pieces, and they look amazing. Installation was easy, and once mounted they feel secure and well balanced.
Great quality for the price. I would definitely buy them again and highly recommend them.

Excellent product
Color: Black, Size: 15.7 inch
I loved this set of 3-piece floating shelves. They arrived well packed and with everything necessary to install them. The installation was quite easy and in a short time I already had them on the wall.
The design is modern and fits with any space. I'm using them to decorate with small plants and some accessories, and they look very pretty. In addition, they feel firm and resistant, they do not seem to be of poor quality.
I like that they come in different sizes, which allows you to play with the distribution and give a more decorative touch to the
