South to a Very Old Place FROM THE CRITICS
Toni Morrison
His perceptions are firmy based in the blues idiom, and it is black music no less than literary criticism and historical analysis which gives his work its authenticity, its emotional vigor, and its tenacious hold on the intellect...[It] destroys some fashionable socio-political interpretations of growing up black.
-- The New York Times Book Review
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Murray is always the playful theoretician, a man who can turn a potential identity crisis into a vital style. He can equate the improvisations of Uncle Remis, Jelly Roll Morton and Lewis Armstrong with the existentialism of Camus and Sartre. — R. B. Shepherd
