A screenplay for the mind, a performance on the page, a work of poetry,  a mad mix of genres and styles, a novel in the tradition of William S.  Burroughs and Ishmael Reed that is like no other novel, \u003ci\u003eNegrophobia\u003c\/i\u003e begins with the blonde bombshell Bubbles Brazil succumbing to a voodoo  spell and entering the inner darkness of her own shiny being. Here  crackheads parade in the guise of Muppets, Muslims beat conga drums,  Negroes have numbers for names, and H. Rap Remus demands the total and  instantaneous extermination of the white race through spontaneous  combustion. By the end of it all, after going on a weird trip for the  ages, Bubbles herself is strangely transformed.","brand":"NYRB Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43374879998207,"sku":"9781681373294","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781681373294_s600x595.jpg?v=1775588709","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781681373294","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
