Fire Shut Up in My Bones

by Catherine Giordano 

One of Bill Maher’s guests on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday September 26, 2014 (episode 330) was Charles M. Blow, journalist, op-ed columnist for The New York Times, and author of Fire Shut Up in My Bones. 

Charles did not talk about his book on Bill Maher’s show. Consequently, it wasn’t until I saw Charles on MSNBC on The Lawrence O’Donnell show that I learned that he is a terrific writer who has written a terrific book. O'Donnell calls it a "literary masterpiece." Publisher's Weekly calls it a "brave powerful memoir."  

The book is beautifully written and it will be a revelation for many Americans about life in rural America and growing up African-American in America.
