Book Review: Give me a break!
Summary: 2 Stars
Anna Deavere Smith is a well-educated, well-connected, talented, scholarly African American woman, recipient of many honors, minor movie and television roles, her own one-woman television specials and theatrical performances. The problem with this book is that she NEVER lets us forget how wonderful she is. She is SO impressed with herself that it's amazing to me that she ever got around to interviewing her, uh, subjects. (SHE seems to be the real subject.) The book is a fairly interesting look at what goes on in Washington political circles, where most of her interviews take place. If you can get past the parties in her honor and all the other self-focused hoo-ha, you might enjoy reading it. Otherwise, find something to read by an African American writer who is a little more scholarly and a little less self-enthralled.
