In 1960, Ishmael Reed, then an aspiring young writer, interviewed Malcolm X for a local radio station in Buffalo, and the encounter cost Reed his job and changed his life. In Malcolm and Me, Reed, the author of such classic novels as Mumbo Jumbo and the winner of a MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, reveals a side of Malcolm X the public has never seen before, and explores how the civil rights firebrand influenced his own views on working and living and speaking out, and left a mark on generations of artists and activists.

Malcolm X was one of the most influential human rights activists in history and his views on race, religion, and fighting back changed America and the world. Reed gives a clear-eyed view of what the man was really like - beyond the headlines and the myth-making. Malcolm and Me is also an intimately observed look at the development of an artist, and how chance encounters we have in our youth can transform who we are and the world we live in.

After all, giving voice to your own lived experience and recounting deeply painful or uncomfortable memories in a way that still engages and entertains is a remarkable feat. These autobiographies, often narrated by the authors themselves, shine with raw, unfiltered emotion sure to resonate with any listener. But don't just take our word for it—queue up any one of these listens, and you'll hear exactly what we mean.

Mister Reed is a good writer and speaker. but, the book itself didn't get into Malcolm X as much as I hoped it would. on that basis alone I was a bit disappointed.

not as much as Malcolm X as I hoped.

It's a good story but there were so many dates and names being thrown around I kind of got lost several times during the book. It's probably just my adhd but this one was especially difficult to keep up.

In the 1960's Ishmale Reed interviewed Malcom X for a local radio station in Buffalo and right after that interview his show was canceled and he lost his job. From then on his life was changed and goes on a personal journey to discover the civil rights and how the movement left lasting impressions not just on millions of young African American men but also influenced his own life. In this book he tells different stories about Malcom X that the public didn't get to witness, stories from his own encounters that you can't read in any newspaper article or in any published book. It was interesting hearing this book and hearing a bit of history that I never knew about, I am not a big history buff, but I can say when history is told from the eyes of a person who was there and witnessed different events, those are the stories that I really find interesting to listen to and those are the stories that I like to read.

Some history you don't know

I sought this book wondering what else it could tell me about Malcolm X that I didn’t already know. And there it was a greater awareness of how this iconic man influenced the lives and thinking of those who had the privilege of knowing him personally

More information thank I expected

Great story poor performance. Information was very interesting and moving at times but the reader seemed to get carried away and read too quickly and words became indistict. A very lofty vocabulary was used so when words became indistinct and mushy the story became hard to follow.

At first I didn’t understand why this wasn’t about M.X, later I understood the author’s purpose. I had never considered that I learned very little about MX and the civil rights movement, as well as his time as a radical Muslims. I did not know he was killed by a member of his own race. I will end up listening to this several times in order to look up some people he mentions. He dedicated this to all the unsung hero’s of the civil rights movement, which I applaud. Thank you.

Quick listen, fascinating story, and pretty informative. I kinda want more details, because it highlighted so much!

Fascinating story

This is more about Ishmael Reed than Malcolm X, which is fine. The problem is understanding the narration. Reed reads his own book . . . way too fast. It's muddy too, almost as if he taped it at home and mailed it in. Not to Audible's standards.

Production values low

Great historical references and poignant remarks on historical figures long gone but not forgotten. The story was good, but the narrator lost me at times as he spoke to fast and his words seemed to jumbled together. Ishmael Reed would then catch himself, speak slower in almost a monotone in which his sentence would run on. I finished listening to it, but I became frustrated while listening to him tell his story. Overall, the historical significance and storytelling was good.

Great History Lesson
