The Vulture and the Nigger Factory

The outer archives are busy

by Gil Scott-Heron

Thriller

About this book

Scott-Heron's highly successful two novels are now packaged together for the first time. The Vulture relates the strange story of John Lee's murder - telling it in the words of four men who knew him when he was just another kid working after school, hanging out, waiting for something to happen. Just who did kill John Lee and why? A hip and fast-moving thriller. The Nigger Factory is a biting satire set on the campus of Sutton University, Virginia. The failure of Sutton to embrace the changing attitudes of the sixties has necessitated has caused disaffection among the black students and revolution is nigh.
