Comments on My Friend the Devil by Marvin X


Simply riveting!
--Fahizah Alim

Marvin X (El Muhajir)you are doing a tremendous service telling our history in
our own words. This is why I am proud to be one of your students.
--Ramal Lamar (storyteller in training)


Wonderful appreciation of both Elijah and Clara. Rare perception nowadays,
what with the Malcolm cult. The pendulum is swinging.

Hallelujah! Meanwhile MX is reminiscing, I must say, entertainingly, about
his historic dalliance w/ shaitan rat on...

Great stuff, man, priceless….

More and more I am convinced this work will be a best-seller. Though I have
never read a Cleaver biography, a lot of this material seems to be new and
if not factually new, it is from a novel perspective.

Thank you Marvin...get it all out...write it out...sweat it out...dance it
out...cry it out, swear it out, walk it out...work it out....thank you for
sharing ...respect.

Enjoyed your post about Cleaver. Very interesting. Contained vivid imagery.
