A wild, lyrical, and anguished autobiography, in which Charles
Mingus pays short shrift to the facts but plunges to the very
bottom of his psyche, coming up for air only when it pleases him.
He takes the reader through his childhood in Watts, his musical
education by the likes of Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and
Charlie Parker, and his prodigious appetites--intellectual,
culinary, and sexual. The book is a jumble, but a glorious one, by
a certified American genius.
