  The Edge book reviews - Neon Noir & If He Hollers, Let Him Go
If the book has a thesis then it is that Kennedy, Vietnam, Watergate, Reagan, The Cold War and the rest reshaped crime writing and crime writers in its own image.
Instead she is let off for simply lacking "abandonment, wit and style," while Harris is all but accused of encouraging "the popularity of capital punishment, get-tough legislation, and false moral positions that coincidentally encourage racism, misogyny and homophobia." Well that’s okay then.
But even if we go so far as to accept the Second Coming of Jimmy Ellroy, no one is surely about to argue that he is a better writer than Barry Gifford or Jim Sallis.

 If He Hollers Let Him Go, Chester Himes, 1852427043, Eddie Duggan
Generally labelled a 'protest novel', If He Hollers Let Him Go is more than 'just' a protest novel about the fate of a fl shipyard worker in a racist society.
If He Hollers Let Him Go is also where the 'protest novel' meets the 'tough guy novel', and its prose is straight out of the top drawer.

 AAS notes3
When Himes was writing If He Hollers Let Him Go in L.A. in the early 1940s, it would have been hard for him to ignore the race tensions in his city and across the nation.
The system works well enough to get him away from the rape charge, or from a lynching, but the rulers of the system-the corporate head and the judge-still resist acknowledging that a fl man may have been more right than a white woman, and as a result Bob is sent off to the armed forces.
If race in the U.S. for Himes is irrational, impossible, and eventually violent, Baldwin holds out the possibility that mental effort-"the fight… to keep my own heart free of hatred and despair"-and genuine empathy-to consider the other man's "wrassling"-might provide a genuine resolution to the pain.

 Love Jones: a black male feminist critique of Chester Himes's If He Hollers Let Him Go - Critical Essay African ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Focusing attention on the marginalized perspectives of the fl women in the text, I reconsider the received image of Bob Jones, the central protagonist, as a "Black Everyman." Illuminating Himes's phallocentric assumptions regarding fl women, this perspective calls attention to the erasure of the fl female social perspectives in the novel.
Milliken asserts that "two women, one fl and beautiful and the other white and vicious, are the principal barbed spurs that drive Bob Jones from point to point through his short and violent trajectory, as he is jabbed at or slashed first by one set of characters and then another" (77).
Echoing the image of Jones as a "modem day Everyman," Addison Gayle, Jr., argues that If He Hollers is "concerned with the powerlessness of the fl-middle class intellectual" (182).

 Transgressing race and community in Chester Himes's If He Hollers Let Him Go African American Review - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Much like Bob Jones, the semi-autobiographical main character of his first published novel, If He Hollers Let Him Go (1945), Himes hoped to benefit from relaxed racial restrictions on hiring due to the massive labor shortage in the defense plants.
(5) With these developments, it is important to reassess Himes's literary and historical achievement in if He Hollers Let Him Go and examine his fictional response to the events of the early 1940s -- the Japanese American internment and the Zoot Suit Riots -- and their relationship to the African American community.
Set in early 1944, If He Hollers Let Him Go recreates a Los Angeles demographically changed by the forced removal of 94,000 Japanese Americans from California two years earlier and by the widespread violence against Mexican American youth in the Zoot Suit Riots in June 1943.

 James Sallis Web Pages - Paging Mr Himes
His first novels, If He Hollers Let Him Go, Lonely Crusade and to an extent The Third Generation, were protest novels somewhat in the manner of Richard Wright and others.
Himes' novels were also tightly structured, If He Hollers around a series of reflective, ever-mutable dreams, Lonely Crusade around a series of philosophical dialogues.
If this plumbing for the truth reveals within the Negro personality homicidal mania, lust for white women, a pathetic sense of inferiority, paradoxical anti-Semitism, arrogance, Uncle Tomism, hate and fear and self-hate, this then is the effect of oppression on the human personality.
