autobiography of stokely carmichael, civil rights leader from SNCC, who coined the phrase "black power", led black unity efforts in DC, and later fled to begin a new life in Guinea (West Africa).

This was truly a magnificent effort from an author who has made her name writing scholarly biographies of women authors. Not only does it minutely mine Virginia Woolf's diaries & letters, but those of persons who wrote to and about her. I have chosen to go on to the primary sources myself, as I felt there were some overly contrived interpretations of some of these, but believe me, without Hermione Lee pointing the way, my own further studies in Virginia Woolf's life & works would have had less direction or focus. I am now reading Julia Briggs An Inner Life which emphasizes VW's life in terms of her works, a far different, though equally relevant method of inspection.
