A must-read treasure, December 24, 2012 By Henrietta Lala "herbalwiz" (St. Martinville, LA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Blackbird: A Boy Meets The Devil For the First Time (Kindle Edition) I've been reading about 70 years and Blackbird is one of those rare nuggets of pure gold in a whole mountain of clay . It plays out like the blues, full of riffs and bass and gravel that spin themselves into a mirror of soul not ashamed to get down and dirty and come up dragging us into a light we refused to open our eyes to before. Don't let the stomp and shuffle and guffaws fool you into thinking it's not about you, you ain't gonna get off that easy. I was in Gadsden Alabama for about three months in 1958, and he's not telling any lies. It was my first experience with deep southern segregationist views. A great morality tale told by a masterful and powerful writer about a very unique character.

Especially, if you were raised in a butcher shop. And that's what war is: A Butcher Shop.
