...Duplex is by Ed Bullins, once minister of culture for the Black Panther Party, and it's part of a projected series of 20 full-length plays about black people in America. Bullins modestly calls it the "Twentieth Century Cycle." Among his other accomplishments are an Obie award and, for his first novel, possibly the worst review ever to appear in The Crimson.
