In the hardboiled tradition of Chester Himes and Walter Mosely, Robert Deane Pharr's novel tells the tale of two black men, Dave and Blueboy, traveling waiters who establish themselves as numbers runners in a fictionalizedRichmond of the 1930s. Published to great acclaim in 1969, The Book of Numberscenters on powerful themes of truth and illusion, myth and legend, and vividlyconveys a sense of African American life on the periphery of white society. The newVirginia edition complements Pharr's text with an Afterword by Washington Posteditor Jabari Asim.
