By Dylan Suher

For nearly 70 years, pressed between the covers of a ratty black binder and shunted into a file box in the Samuel Roth papers, sandwiched between legal records, correspondences personal and professional, hastily scribbled half-brained schemes, and vaguely bawdy etchings, the last manuscript of fiction by the great Harlem Renaissance writer Claude McKay lay in dusty repose, untouched and unknown—until a very lucky Columbia graduate student, Jean-Christophe Cloutier, stumbled upon it and recognized it for what it was.
