I absolutely love this book. It’s very interesting and very black which is something I admire. Malik is a relatable black young man like myself. He’s been misunderstood, falsely accused and abandoned like myself. This story takes me on a ride through Malik’s journey to find the truth of his mother’s disappearance.

George continues detailing his experiences with Marlon. A significant situation occurs with the two that strains their friendship, slightly. George becomes Marlon’s authority as director of the Ugly American, which subsequently causes Marlon to detest George.

George is painting a picture of his initial experiences with Marlon, the building of their friendship and how he became sort of a high figure in Marlon’s production company Pennebaker Productions.

George is describing Marlon in his last months, setting the scene of his home, condition and new quality of life. Currently, both are recounting significant moments in their past, topics including their fathers, concepts of death, Marlon’s early disdain for authority, views of homosexuality and perception.

The subject of the interview surrounding the American Indian is thoroughly discussed along with Marlon’s other plights of activism. I have never viewed the treatment of our Natives through this lens before. It’s devastating to learn how these heinous acts of violence occurred and are subdued in our culture. I am in complete awe, thank you Marlon.

Well, Marlon is still very stern in his convictions especially those pertaining to his glorified stature in the film industry, which he regards as ridiculous and unimportant. As the interview progresses, however, Marlon has allowed for the interviewer to get a few questions in about his career. Marlon seems to be entertained by his answers, but he’s still very much aware of the intentions of this interview.

So the interview has begun and Marlon is being his usual self, crisscrossing around questions pertaining to his career and celebrity. He’s doing it with such brazenness that the interviewer has grown tired and prompts not to attempt to dig at anything off topic. Marlon surprisingly feels remorse and offers his reasoning as to why unable to answer questions he deems unimportant or irrelevant

My initial intrigue was fleeting, but it’s back. I just noticed these scenes were the background to the interview. They chronicle ten says of Marion’s daily activities, along with moments of celebration, discussion, relaxation, teachings, and brief history of Marlon’s bizarre encounters with fans. In addition to a few insights from his wife.
