A Lonely Rage: The Autobiography of Bobby Seale By Bobby Seale

A Lonely Rage: The Autobiography of Bobby Seale By Bobby Seale Times Books, 238 pp., $10.95

This is a contemptible book: about a contemptible human life. Bobby Seale’s development got arrested long before his person ever was. Lonely Rage will go to prove, what we should have known from day one, that the Black Panther burlesque—far from being some valid expression of ethnic pride —had as much moment as a puerile and stupid tantrum. Bedwetters are no more infantile. Bobby Seale wasted his adulthood and our time playing doctor with himself behind the barn.
