Lädt ... Malcolm and Mevon Ishmael Reed
   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  MontzaleeW | Aug 16, 2020 |   Review of the Audible Original audiobook edition (January 30, 2020) This is really more of a memoir/autobiography of Ishmael Reed as he only met Malcolm X twice in his younger days while working at a radio station. I still found it interesting though as it does show how that early influence went on to effect Reed's writing and career. There are also interesting anecdotes and trivia such as the information about Alexander Hamilton which Reed has incorporated into his recent play. See the trivia link below for more on that. Malcolm and Me is expected to be one of the free Audible Originals for members for February 2020. It is already available as of January 30, 2020 to members and to the general public for a standard price. Trivia and Link For those who can't afford or are unable to get tickets to Hamilton, there is the consolation of Ishmael Reed's recent play The Haunting of Lin Manuel Miranda which uses the plot-line of Dicken's A Christmas Carol and has the Hamilton writer visited by ghosts of the past who debunk the myths perpetuated by the rap musical.

In 1960, Ishmael Reed, then an aspiring young writer, interviewed Malcolm X for a local radio station in Buffalo, and the encounter cost Reed his job and changed his life. In Malcolm and Me, Reed, the author of such classic novels as Mumbo Jumbo and the winner of a MacArthur "Genius" Fellowship, reveals a side of Malcolm X the public has never seen before, and explores how the civil rights firebrand influenced his own views on working and living and speaking out, and left a mark on generations of artists and activists. Malcolm X was one of the most influential human rights activists in history and his views on race, religion, and fighting back changed America and the world. Reed gives a clear-eyed view of what the man was really like - beyond the headlines and the myth-making. Malcolm and Me is also an intimately observed look at the development of an artist, and how chance encounters we have in our youth can transform who we are and the world we live in.

The book seemed to ramble and had no timeline. It got very confusing. I would suggest watching the series on Netflix if you want to learn more about Malcolm. I am glad this was free. (
