Has anyone read the new Sue Mingus book? The critics seem to have = thought it too much about her and not enough Mingus, though how could it = be otherwise?

I am about 150 pages into it. It is very good, well written. The critics are right that it is a lot about her, but it is very fascinating to hear about their relationship, how it happened over the years. There are a lot of great stories about Mingus in here too and the bold comments he made about other musicians and all kinds of things. Well worth getting. John
