"This is the funniest book of 2009.

The more you know about black

history, the funnier it is.

--Dr. James Garrett



Marvin X is one of America's

great story tellers. Maybe second

only to Mark Twain. Of course I'd place

Marvin X ahead of him even.

--Rudolph Lewis, editor, www.nathanielturner.com



Hallelujah! MX is reminiscing, I must say, entertaningly,

about his historic dalliance w/shaitan.

--Amiri Baraka, from intro



Thank you Marvin...get it all out, write it out, dance it out,

cry it out, swear it out, walk it out, work it out, thank you

for sharing. --Tarika Lewis, violinist, activist and first Black Panther female
