Description
The Walls of Jericho by Rudolph Fisher is a satirical novel that explores the social and philosophical scene of 1920s Harlem. When Fred Merrit purchases a house in an exclusive white neighbourhood, he hires a removal firm to help him navigate the hostile reactions of his neighbours.
The story follows the unlikely duo of Jinx Jenkins and Bubber Brown, who make the move anything but straightforward. Through their interactions with Merrit and each other, Fisher provides a valuable insight into the social and philosophical landscape of the time.
This new edition includes Fisher's short story 'One Month's Wages', which revisits Jinx and Bubber during the Depression, offering a poignant portrayal of life in Harlem during a tumultuous period. A witty and engaging novel that offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those living on the margins of society.
