"An elaborate spoof that somehow manages to combine touches of the absurd and intimations of the surreal, strokes of caricature, slapstick, and the grotesque, with an inherent down-to-earth sanity and realism." -- Saturday Review A wealthy white man and earnest do-gooder buys a building in a ghetto neighborhood in this warmly comic novel. Elgar Enders, having been expelled from eight Ivy League schools, is eager to make something of himself. He begins by attempting to improve his new property, an endeavor that plunges him into a world of cheerful amorality. Elgar's tenants -- an uninhibited hairdresser and her militant husband, a refined grifter, and a former jazz singer who practices voodoo -- gleefully proceed to take advantage of his naivety. But the fledgling landlord receives something of value in return in this satirical look at issues of gentrification, race, class, and privilege. Called "rather readable" by Andrew Sarris in The New York Times, this acclaimed novel was the basis for Hal Ashby's 1970 film of the same name.Binding Type: Paperback

Heaven sent
Size: Jumbo (25-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
My back suddenly decided to show me who's the boss. This reading pillow has been a God send! It is substantial without being too hard, soft enough to be comfortable without being too soft, absolutely no lumps! The outside cover is removable to allow for machine washing and is so soft to the touch. There is a handle on the back that makes it easy to move. This has allowed me to be able to sit upright, much appreciated!

Huge, super soft, cozy pillow!
Size: Jumbo (25-Inch), Color: Sage
This pillow is awesome! As a plus size person who can't sleep laying flat, the size and support level is perfect. This pillow is huge! The quality is very high, the stitching is precise, and the sage green material is soft and cozy. Great value for the price! I highly recommend this reading pillow!

MUST BUY Item for Breastfeeding Moms
Size: Standard (18-Inch), Color: Dark Grey
MUST GET item for breastfeeding moms. It is a soft pillow with a removable washable cover. The material is like a suede, which can make it hot to lean on if you typically feel hot when breastfeeding or sleeping. It allows you to sit up straight while in bed with great support.
