Reviews

“The story of Baraka’s metamorphosis is itself part of the story of contemporary literature’s development.” —Publishers Weekly


"Always a nuance ahead of everybody else, he is our more original writers. Nobody else comes close." —Ishmael Reed


"He is regarded by those closest to Black art as the nation's leading Black writer, which of course suggests that no other, however talented, has proven—in this time and place—more valuable to Black people." —Ebony
