The pioneering novel of physical disability, transatlantic travel, and black international politics. A vital document of black modernism and one of the earliest overtly queer fictions in the African American tradition. Published for the first time. A Penguin Classic A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice/Staff Pick Buried in the archive for almost ninety years, Claude McKay's Romance in Marseille traces the adventures of a rowdy troupe of dockworkers, prostitutes, and political organizers--collectively straight and queer, disabled and able-bodied, African, European, Caribbean, and American. Set largely in the culture-blending Vieux Port of Marseille at the height of the Jazz Age, the novel takes flight along with Lafala, an acutely disabled but abruptly wealthy West African sailor. While stowing away on a transatlantic freighter, Lafala is discovered and locked in a frigid closet. Badly frostbitten by the time the boat docks, the once-nimble dancer loses both of his lower legs, emerging from life-saving surgery as what he terms "an amputated man." Thanks to an improbably successful lawsuit against the shipping line, however, Lafala scores big in the litigious United States. Feeling flush after his legal payout, Lafala doubles back to Marseille and resumes his trans-African affair with Aslima, a Moroccan courtesan. With its scenes of black bodies fighting for pleasure and liberty even when stolen, shipped, and sold for parts, McKay's novel explores the heritage of slavery amid an unforgiving modern economy. This first-ever edition of Romance in Marseille includes an introduction by McKay scholars Gary Edward Holcomb and William J. Maxwell that places the novel within both the "stowaway era" of black cultural politics and McKay's challenging career as a star and skeptic of the Harlem Renaissance.Binding Type: Paperback

Broken after 6 weeks of use
Color: White
Bought this so I didn’t have to heat my milk before frothing. No longer heated after 6 weeks. Too late to return. I consider this a bad buy. Wound up in the landfill.

Works great and easy to use
Color: Black
I feel like I’ve finally found a decent milk frother! I’ve gone through (or returned) several models over the last few years, but this one has a different design and hasn’t frustrated me like the others.
It has plenty of power to froth milk, foam quality is good, heating is good. I checked the temperature a few times, since a few reviews were critical of that, and it was within a degree or two of what I’d set, so I’d say it’s good!
I appreciate that it remembers the last settings so most days are a 1-click operation. But even changing the settings is easy - easier than others I’ve used while having more options.

Best addition to our coffee bar
Color: Black
BEST milk frother we've owned. It is on the larger size but worth it. I love that there are multiple temperature settings. It is easy to use and figure out. The frother spins inside of the stainless steel cup and is magnetically attached inside so it does not come off easily. We use agave for sweetener and being able to throw the cup into the dishwasher to clean off residue has been the biggest plus of this frother. Highly recommend. Worth the cost.
