Steve Cannon's cult classic novel returns to printDespite decades of notoriety as one of the "filthiest books in the world," Steve Cannon's first and only piece of longform fiction, Groove, Bang and Jive Around, has hardly been read since first being published in 1969. In the words of American poet Ishmael Reed, Cannon's debut work inspired a generation by breaking with staid literary modernism. Its publication "signaled a resurfacing of the irreverent, underground trickster tradition of Black orature."

He worked with and was a mentor to many artists and writers. In 1990 he founded the magazine and gallery A Gathering of the Tribes in New York City's East Village.
