California is still the worlds biggest hideout. The only thing more western is the Pacific Ocean, where, if the Big One happens, California might find a home at the bottom. One of those hiding out is Peter Bowman, a former army brat, and lecturer at Woodrow Wilson Community College, who is being hunted for a quality most men would crave. But for Bowman, nicknamed Boa, it has become burdensome. When an opportunity comes, he has to choose between becoming financially solvent or exposing himself to his pursuers. Along the way, he runs into some memorable characters both in reality and in his dreams, including Ishmael Reed. In Ishmael Reeds Conjugating Hindi, stories, histories and myths of different cultures are mixed and sampled. Modern issues like gentrification addressed. It is the closest that a fiction writer has gotten to the hiphop form on the page. Once again, Ishmael Reed has pioneered a new form. If his first novel, The FreeLance Pallbearers, was an early AfroFuturist novel, Mumbo Jumbo recognized as "a graphic novel before we used the term" (according to Pulitzer Prizewinning critic Margo Jefferson), Yellow Back Radio Broke Down Blazing Saddless "important precursor," Flight To Canada his "Neo Slave Narrative," a concept that he coinedConjugating Hindi is his global novel. One that crosses all borders.
