Flight to Canada / Ishmael Reed.

London : Penguin Classics, 2018.

192 pages ; 20 cm

Deep in the American South, 'land of the hunted and the haunted', three young slaves have broken free. But they have their former master hot on their heels, and they must outrun, outwit or outgun him and his personal 'CIA' if they are to secure their freedom - all while dodging the bullets of the Civil War raging on around them. When the three men part ways, the adventure begins: the first buys up a huge number of arms in readiness for a final showdown; the second sells his body for pornographic flicks; while the third, Raven Quickskill, hero, poet, heartbreaker, swigs champagne on a non-stop jumbo jet to Canada.
