We have finished The Love of Landry. Jim
Here's a very cool one not yet cataloged:
The Primitive by Chester Himes: https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015011800169&view=1up&seq=9
Himes was a very influential hard-boiled crime writer whose works were adapted into films like A Rage in Harlem and Cotton Comes to Harlem.
Certified public domain in the US by Hathitrust. I also independently validated that it had no copyright renewal.
