- Summary:
- In the novel, McKay draws on his personal experiences living in France to depict dockworkers and drifters in the port town of Marseilles. The novel follows one group of beach boys, combining semi-autobiographical accounts of their pleasure-seeking lifestyle with their conversations about race relations and race politics, in France and abroad.
