Oh yes, a "realist", rather conventional, sometimes racist (see how he 
describes Black Africans), but a very good storyteller.... whites are often 
pathologic and decadent, especially gays (see the description of the British 
development aid worker in "Minic Men")... in "Guerillas" Malcolm X (a 
Caribbean Malcolm X in this case, to be correct) is described as a nihilistic 
leader, a pederast and mentally completely disturbed...
