520    "The landmark comic satire that asks, "What would happen 
       if all black people in America turned white?" It's New 
       Year's Day 1933 in New York City, and Max Disher, a young 
       black man, has just found out that a certain Dr. Junius 
       Crookman has discovered a mysterious process that allows 
       people to bleach their skin white--a new way to "solve the
       American race problem." Max leaps at the opportunity, and 
       after a brief stay at the Crookman Sanitarium, he becomes 
       Matthew Fisher, a white man who's able to attain 
       everything he's ever wanted: money, power, good liquor, 
       and the white woman who rejected him when he was black. 
       Lampooning myths of white supremacy and racial purity and 
       caricaturing prominent African American leaders like W. E.
       B. Du Bois, Madam C. J. Walker, and Marcus Garvey, Black 
       No More is a masterwork of speculative fiction and a 
       hilarious satire of America's obsession with race. For 
       more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading 
       publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking 
       world. With more than 1,800 titles, Penguin Classics
