Romance in Marseille is a novel by Claude McKay. The novel was published posthumously in 2020, 87 years after it was written, as the original editors considered the novel too transgressive for its time.[1][2] It is McKay's second posthumously published novel in recent years.[3]

It follows the story of Lafala, a black sailor who becomes wealthy after winning a lawsuit against a shipping line for the mistreatment he experiences as a stowaway. The novel is partly based on the real-life experiences of Nelson Simeon Dede, a Nigerian sailor McKay had met in Marseille.[3]
