KING STRUT

by Chuck Stone ‧ RELEASE DATE: Sept. 1, 1970

Mr. Stone (Tell It Like It Is, etc.) has written a blackface Drew Pearson novel about strutting, stomping Hiram Quinault, from Alderman to Congressman and finally service on a major Congressional committee during Milch time he manages to offend everyone, not to mention the reader. While Quinault is married to a big time Negro actress (any clef to the roman is really not justified) he has massive sexual conquests which include the president's wife. He is also so powerful that he must be broken, which he is, only to make his comeback and be shot down. One really wonders how Quinault can promote any cause and certainly not that of the novel as in his usual foul-mouthed fashion he says to our Chief of State, a dying man, ""If you can't fart, you can't fart. Which proves what I've believed about you all the time. You're really full of shit."" Right on? Right off.
