When was it published? By whom? Sounds interesting. I'll probably read both. Can you give us a fuller citation or reference to the Ehlen book? When was it published? By whom?

I just read this David Macey book, or what I could endure of it, and was nearly bored out of my chair. My wife had to wake me up eight or nine times. It is 516 pages of mostly irrelevant, unsorted facts. Maybe I'm being unduly critical, but it's hard to have much patience after reading a very fascinating biography of Fanon earlier this summer-- a much shorter book by Patrick Ehlen that was absolutely gripping. I could not put it down. That book was incisive, selective, and wonderfully written. If you want to read a book on Fanon, I would definitely recommend the latter one, and not Macey's, unless you're an insomniac (in which case the first book might be of some use).
