Description
Ishmael Reed's Mumbo Jumbo is a comic fable set in 1920s America, where an epidemic of freedom and self-expression spreads rapidly through Black artists. This outbreak of Jazz, Ragtime, and Blues threatens to dismantle the social order. In response, members of The Wallflower Order, an international conspiracy dedicated to puritanism and control, work to root out the plague by any means necessary. Meanwhile, private eye and Vodun priest Papa LaBas defends his ancient culture against their plans. At the heart of this conflict lies a quest for an ancient Egyptian text that might hold the key to preserving freedom. Mumbo Jumbo is a novel of outrage, intrigue, and wonder, blending magic, conspiracies, music, and myth in an exuberant explosion of satire for our times.
