The Book of Leon
Everyone’s favorite houseguest who never left, Leon Black (played by award-winning comedian JB Smoove on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm) brings his good-bad advice for the masses in this hilarious memoir that “requires a special kind of dedicated attention, as Leon drops knowledge and theories” (Entertainment Weekly). Aristotle. Gandhi. Lao Tzu. Dr. Ruth. Amateurs. For centuries people have pored over the scrolls of the ancients, read tea leaves, and looked to the stars for wisdom and advice. While some people have probably offered good advice, and others offer bad advice, Leon is here to offer his unique brand of good-bad advice. Be forewarned: in opening this tome and Leon’s mind, you need to be prepared for straight talk. The kind of unfiltered blunt straight talk that pounds on your door, invites itself in, makes itself at home, helps itself to your food, security pass code, your expensive organic beet juice, and finally makes itself comfortable on that twin bed in your guest room. All the while you think you’re helping it—but really, it’s helping you help yourself! Leon Black, he ain’t wrong...he just ain’t right.

"in the Light of Likeness--Transformed"
"In the Light of Likeness--Transformed", by Dana A. Williams, looks critically at the work of contemporary African American author Leon Forrest. Not only does she bring to the critical table a well-known but as yet understudied modernist author--an important endeavor in and of itself--but she also explores Forrest's novels' cultural dialogue with black ethnic culture and other African American authors, as well as provides in-depth readings of his prose and interpretations of his narrative style.
