The Hit and the Long Night

by Julian Mayfield and Phillip M. Richards

These two novels center on the numbers game and the consequences befalling those who hit as well as those who lose; together they represent an important transition between earlier black writers, such as Langston Hughes, and the more militant voices of the sixties and seventies.
