The book’s racism is framed as a white author’s hoax. [fact]

Another woman developed a Negrophobia after she had read J’irai cracher sur vos tombes. I tried to demonstrate the irrationality of her position by pointing out to her that victimized white women were as sick as the Negro. Besides, I added, this was no case of black vengeance, as the title of the book might seem to imply, because the author was a white man, Boris Vian. I had to accept the futility of all such efforts. That young woman did not want to listen.
