You don't know anything except Jun 21, 2002 You don't know anything except what's there for you to see. An act. Lies. Device. Not the pure heart, the pumping black heart. A few of us saw Amiri Baraka's Dutchman, "one of the high marks in postwar American drama," at the Source Theatre last night. Amiri Baraka was first known as LeRoi Jones and associated with the Beats. When I wrote that play Dutchman, I didn't know what I had written. I stayed up all night and wrote it, went to sleep at the desk and then woke up, and looked at it and said "what the [f---] is this?" And then put it down and went to bed.If Baraka showed up in Richard Linklater's "Waking Life", his monologue might go something like this: [Kalamu ya Salaam speaks with Amiri Baraka]. randomWalks @randomWalks
