Gil Scott-Heron's highly successful two novels from the early Seventies are packaged together for the first time. Digging the rhythms of the street, where the biggest deal life has to offer is getting high, The Vulture is a hip and fast-moving thriller. Relating the story of John Lee's murder through the words of four men, the reasons behind the death of the teenager slowly begin to emerge.
The Nigger Factory is a scornful statement on the way in which human beings are conditioned to think. On the campus of Sutton University, Virginia, the students are trying to carry forth the message of reconstruction to a university resistant to change. The failure of Sutton to embrace the changing attitudes of the Sixties has necessitated extreme action and the revolution is nigh.

A true Poet. A real Artist. A hell of a writer, and a Great Humanitarian. Why don't guys like him live into their 90's? It's a excellent book.

Loves the late Gil Scott-Heron I just found this a tough read. I didn't find the characters compelling. I'm glad he wrote better songs. Miss you Gil.
