[lbo-talk] Amiri Baraka

[Doug Henwood]

I'm going to be recording an interview with Amiri Baraka on Friday,  
based on his new collection of short stories, Tales of the Out and  
the Gone (Akashic Books). What I've read so far is pretty compelling  
- so much so that I missed my subway stop this morning.

Given all the orchestrated national mourning for Gerald Ford, one of  
the stories describes him as "the big-headed, empty-faced moron who  
fronted off for the corporate dictatorship that ran America...." Too  
bad Baraka wasn't ask to eulogize Ford.

In any case, advice on questions to ask him?
