À propos de cet audio

Continuously available in print since 1968, this novel has become embedded in progressive anti-racist culture with wide circulation of the book and hotly debated film. A literary classic, The Spook Who Sat by the Door is a strong comment on entrenched racial inequities in the United States in the late 1960s. With its focus on the “militancy” that characterized the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, this is the story of one man’s reaction to ruling-class hypocrisy in ways that make the novel autobiographical and personal. As a tale of a reaction to the forces of oppression, this book is universal.

Dan Freeman, the “spook who sat by the door,” is enlisted in the CIA’s elitist espionage program. Upon mastering agency tactics, however, he drops out to train young Black Chicagoans to combat racism as “Freedom Fighters” in this explosive novel.

This audio book was excellent to listen to. The story and narrator takes you on a journey similar to how you might experience a Shaft or Foxy Brown type movie.

While the narrating and feel of the story was good it was more 4.25 stars for me as I found myself drifting occassionally from the story line. it wasn't that often but enough to give it a 4/5 but really 4.25.

Very Cool Novel
