Shirley J. Adult Fiction based on actual events The life story of Malcolm X
X: A Novel by Ilyasah Shabazz and Kekla Magoon 384 pages
A fictionalized version of the life of Malcolm X based on actual events as told by his daughter, Ilyasah Shabazz and co-writer, Kekla Magoon. The book mirrors that of the Autobiography of Malcolm from Malcolm Little's beginning to his fatal end. A fine tribute to her father, Ilyasah Shabazz lends her memories and fictionalized conversations between her father and his family, friends, colleagues, fellow members of the Nation of Islam, world leaders and/or movers and shakers, supporters, detractors of his methods and beliefs and enemies of his mission and message. Well told story of the man, who after his prison conversion to Islam became a voice for revolution. I would recommend this book to high schoolers on up.
