| Odetta's charisma is a touchstone in Mr. Zack's engaging, revelatory chronicle. | A solid work of reportage and writing. ...There are many excellent details in Zack's biography. | Odetta brims with the life of its forgotten subject, showing us that we have a lot of cultural history to re-learn, and many losses yet to mourn. |
