Have you heard of Claude Mc Kay?
He is an American writer who was one of the pioneers of the Harlem renaissance.
He lived in and loved Marseille and wrote a novel Banjo that takes place here.
I recommend it as a summer read.
His special relationship to Marseille is now official. If you go to the Vieux Port, you'll find his passage between 148 & 156 Quai du Port. You can find out all about the ceremony and a lot more on the US Consulate in Marseille FB page
