First and foremost, I must pay homage to Marimba Ani who I gained insight from concerning the title of her book titled, "Yorugu" which means Pale Fox. One must do their own investigation into the Dogon African religion to understand "The Pale Fox."

Many Black men are going to see themselves in many chapters within this novel and some will be in denial, and this is the same for Whites. The two main characters are 100% fictional, however, all mind-states that the main character Dru transforms into are all 100% non-fiction. The mind-states are my own life experiences and testimonies and observations that I received from other Black men. There are many Blacks that will probably be enraged that I took such serious matters that happen daily within the African American population and turned these matters into a mythological story (urban) and I am not surprised nor am I concerned. No one is ever-challenging urban novelists that write deadly literature that does nothing but keep Black men into a circular dimension.

This novel is geared to cause a thought disturbance in certain Black males, particularly Black young men, born in 2000 or later to take a clear look at themselves and the world around them.
