A rumble through the history of the New York City Metropolitan Transit Authority that focuses on the decade of the sixties and seventies, a time when the work force changed from Irish-American to African-American and the struggle to control the leadership of Local 100 of the Transport Workers Union. The ride is engrossing, witty, bumpy and on time.

$10.00

... certainly Sleepy Willie continues our Langston's use of the popular ironic form, like the classic "simple" pieces. Just as we discovered Simple wasn't really, we'll see right away that Sleepy Willie ain't nearly ... Irony is the weapon of the powerless and as they say in the joint, Willie (and brother Mungin, who's been around for a long while, since the time of the swell of the Black Arts movement) is laying on symbol, very heavy, but with a light and amusing touch. - Amiri Baraka Poet, Playwright, Political Activist, Newark, New Jersey

Sleepy Willie Sings the Blues

This is a must have. The author combines southern roots with northern sensibilities to create a piece that speaks to us all. In the spirit of Langston Hughes Mr. Mungin disarm critics and demagogues forcing them to see the reality of the common man. In a world filled with hurtful and degrading dialogue "Sleepy Willie" makes his point while putting a smile on your face. - John Bradley Book Reviewer Atlanta, Georgia
