T UTTLETON
The Primate's Dream
In these rich essays on the work of black writers and the representation
of the black experience in America, Mr. Tuttleton aims to approach
tile black poet Derek Wakott's ideaI of a raceless critic, one who
judges by tile character of the work rather than by the skin color of its
author. "James Tuttleton is a critic whose judgments can be trusted."
