Review Excerpt:

I dont which I prefer: Ishmael Reed the musician, dramatist, poet, novelist, or essayist but here he's in top form, going the distance, and taking us across some turf we might not have expected to see but guided by his immaculate mind, impeccable research, rapier wit, grand heart, plus (as you can sense from the title alone) a few essential drops of irony. This is NOT another day at the mill. Truth to power. One love. Back to you.
