You wont leave this hypnotic book without feeling that James Brown is still out there, howling.The Boston GlobeFrom the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Lord Bird, winner of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction, Deacon King Kong, and FiveCarat SoulKill Em and Leave is more than a book about James Brown. Brown embodied the contradictions of American life: He was an unsettling symbol of the tensions between North and South, black and white, rich and poor. After receiving a tip that promises to uncover the man behind the myth, James McBride goes in search of the real James Brown. McBrides travels take him to forgotten corners of Browns neverbeforerevealed history, illuminating not only our understanding of the immensely troubled, misunderstood, and complicated Godfather of Soul, but the ways in which our cultural heritage has been shaped by Browns enduring legacy.Praise for Kill Em and LeaveA tour de force of cultural reportage.The Seattle TimesThoughtful and probing.The New York Times Book ReviewMasterly . . . powerful.Los Angeles Review of BooksMcBride provides something lacking in most of the books about James Brown: an intimate feeling for the musician, a veracious if inchoate sense of what it was like to be touched by him. . . .
