The Muhammad Ali Reader par Gerald Early

As an anthology, it's far-ranging in terms of genre and style, and while I didn't enjoy (or understand) some of the stories, even the ones I disliked were incredibly well-written. Some of the stories are uncomfortably supernatural or uncomfortably frank, they're all some of the finest prose I've read in a very long time, and I'll be keeping an eye out for other works by many of these authors. It's a serious, deep read, but well worth the time it takes.… (plus d'informations)
