Book Reviews of Woody Guthrie: A Life
Book Review: "America comes spilling out"
Summary: 5 Stars
This biography is stunningly and painfully intimate. Joe Klein did a fantastic job. This is a great read.Guthrie is a tremendous American icon who not enough of us actually know about or perhaps have even heard of. He was a thousand contradictions. In his art and in his life, in his outrageous, childlike, precocious, brooding, energetic, and endlessly subversive behavior... he was just utterly himself, he embodied a particular American brand of freedom in life, outlook, and sense of possibility.
Even if you haven't got time to read this book, make sure the kids around you know all the verses to "This Land Is Your Land". You may not agree with the politics but it's worth knowing what the man actually said, it makes you think.
