Autobiography of Malcolm X

Malcolm X's autobiography. Malcolm X dictated his life story to the writer Alex Haley. It was published in 1965 shortly after Malcolm's death. This is written on the back cover of the Random House publication of the book, paraphrased:

In the searing pages of this classic autobiography, originally published in 1964, Malcolm X...tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Black Muslim movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American Dream, and the inherent racism in a society that denies its nonwhite citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most URGENT issues of our own time. The Autobiography of Malcolm X stands as the definitive statement of a movement and a man whose work was never completed but whose message is timeless. It is ESSENTIAL reading for anyone who wants to understand America.
The Autobiography of Malcolm X was listed as one of Time's ten most important nonfiction books of the twentieth century...

Malcolm

The opposite of a catalyst, a Malcolm will act as a retardent to any process, slowing it to the point where the rate of advancement of any task is almost immeasurably slow.
The job was running on schedule but, since we started using Malcolm, we're not even anticipating an end date anymore.

Dear Lucia,

This morning I logged on to facebook, to gladly see that I have received 12 notifications. Although, I was not glad to see that approximately 8 of those notifications were from you liking my comments or posting in a group. Therefore, I have decided to comment rape you, which is probably why you are going to have like 20 notifications.

Sincerely,
Malcolm
