‘Colour Blindness’, Russell Davies

Davies reviews The Devil Finds Work:

‘This is a very lenient book, elegant and companiable where it would have every right to be strident and disgusted…If this seems paranoic, you should go on to read with Baldwin’s dealings with the FBI, and to wonder at his account of what Hollywood did to his script of the Malcolm X story. That experience, I imagine, was the impetus behind the making of this very mind-broadening little book; so something good came out of it anyway’.
