Such Sweet Thunder>>BOOK OF THE MONTH Vincent Carter's novel, set in Kansas City of the 1920s and '30s, Such Sweet Thunder was written in the 1960s; he was unable to find a publisher during his lifetime, not least because it did not fit what publishers were looking for in the way of "Negro Literature." Later championed by Richard Wright's widow, this book has at last been published.
