Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The substance of Mr. Tuttleton's compelling new collection of literary essays is the work of black writers and the representation of the black experience in America. He aims to approach the black poet Derek Walcott's ideal of a raceless critic, one who judges by the character of the work rather than by the skin color of its author. The Primate's Dream furthers Mr. Tuttleton's stature as one of our most respected critics. "He is a critic whose judgments can be trusted."--James Seaton, Hudson Review.
