Announcing the launch of Old School Books--a bold and innovative series that rediscovers the greatest (and toughest) African-American writers of our time. Herbert Simmons' first novel, winner of the prestigious Houghton Mifflin Literary Fellowship in 1957, relates the violent rise and fall of 18-years-old Jake Adams, whose Buick Dynaflow, custom-made suits, and attractiveness to women are all the fuits of his job pushing dope for the Organization.
