Reviews
"Thoughtful and probing . . . with great warmth, insight and frequent wit. The results are partisan and enthusiastic, and they helped this listener think about the work in a new way. . . . James McBride's welcome elucidation . . . is clear, deeply felt and unmistakable." --Rick Moody, The New York Times Book Review "The author of the best-selling memoir The Color of Water and the National Book Award-winning novel The Good Lord Bird turns out to also be the biographer of James Brown we've all been waiting for. . . . McBride's true subject is race and poverty in a country that doesn't want to hear about it, unless compelled by a voice that demands to be heard." --Boris Kachka, New York "The definitive look at one of the greatest, most important entertainers, The Godfather, Da Number One Soul Brother, Mr. Please, Please Himself--JAMES BROWN." --Spike Lee " Please, please, please : Can anybody tell us who and what was James Brown ? At last, the real deal: James McBride on James Brown is the matchup we've been waiting for, a musician who came up hard in Brooklyn with JB hooks lodged in his brain, a monster ear for the truth, and the chops to write it. This is no celeb bio but a compelling personal quest--so very timely, angry, hilarious, and as irresistible as any James Brown beat. It's a must for anyone, as JB sang it, 'Living in America.' Read it, and your brain won't sit still." --Gerri Hirshey, author of Nowhere to Run: The Story of Soul Music "National Book Award winner McBride dissects the career, legacy, and myth of the Godfather of Soul. One of the most iconic figures in pop music, James Brown is also one of the most unknown and falsely represented figures in American cultural history. . . . An unconventional and fascinating portrait of Soul Brother No. 1 and the significance of his rise and fall in American culture." --Kirkus Reviews From the Hardcover edition.

Synopsis
"You won't leave this hypnotic book without feeling that James Brown is still out there, howling."-- The Boston Globe From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Lord Bird , winner of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction, Deacon King Kong , and Five-Carat Soul Kill '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. McBride's travels take him to forgotten corners of Brown's never-before-revealed 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 Brown's enduring legacy. Praise for Kill 'Em and Leave "A tour de force of cultural reportage." -- The Seattle Times "Thoughtful and probing." -- The New York Times Book Review "Masterly . . . powerful." -- Los Angeles Review of Books "McBride 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. . . . It may be as close to 'the real James Brown'] as we'll ever get." --David Hajdu, The Nation "A feat of intrepid journalistic fortitude." -- USA Today " McBride is] the biographer of James Brown we've all been waiting for. . . . McBride's true subject is race and poverty in a country that doesn't want to hear about it, unless compelled by a voice that demands to be heard." --Boris Kachka, New York "Illuminating . . . engaging." -- The Washington Post "A gorgeously written piece of reportage that gives us glimpses of Brown's genius and contradictions." --O: The Oprah Magazine, "You won't leave this hypnotic book without feeling that James Brown is still out there, howling."-- The Boston Globe From the New York Times bestselling author of The Good Lord Bird , winner of the 2013 National Book Award for Fiction, Deacon King Kong , and Five-Carat Soul Kill 'Em and Leave is more than a book about James Brown.
