«Escupiré Sobre Vuestra Tumba» is the crime novel by Boris Vian, published by Ediciones Jucar in hardback (141 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Lee Anderson, a black man of white appearance who plans to avenge the death of his brother, murdered by white racists. His revenge leads him to become involved with white women in a spiral of sex and violence. Written with rawness, the work caused scandal for its explicit content and its denunciation of racism.
It was originally published in 1946 under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan, with the French title «J'irai cracher sur vos tombes». Translation by Juan Alcover; first instalment of the Vernon Sullivan series.
For readers of crime novels and classics of twentieth-century French literature.
Boris Vian was a French polymath who is primarily remembered for his novels. Those published under the pseudonym Vernon Sullivan were bizarre parodies of criminal fiction, highly controversial at the time of their release owing to their unconventional outlook.
