Book Reviews of Mumbo Jumbo
Book Review: A Must-Reed, This, Ishmael Reed's Palimpsest
Summary: 5 Stars
The novel deserves five stars for any number of reasons. Two good reasons are 1) it's specifically referenced in Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow, and 2) its pictorial content shifts with each printing. Am I fool or what, but don't some of those photographs speak more than a thousand words? Yeah yeah, on one level, the more superficial one perhaps, the novel serves up African-American cultural apologetics. But I must encourage the *serious* reader to take in the several subtexts on all subsequent readings. Anyone out there recall the Bard paperback printing from the late Seventies? Put that one in your family photo album!
