Voices and Silences (Paperback, New Ed)

Joining forces with biographer-scholar Penelope Niven, Jones writes of his early years living in a Mississippi sharecropper's shack, his boyhood in a small town in Michigan and his eventual arrival in New York, where he got to know his father, the actor Robert Earl Jones, and embarked on an acting career himself. Following powerful performances off-Broadway in Genet's 'The Blacks' and Fugard's 'The Blood Knot', he earned Broadway stardom and a Tony award for his portrayal of Jack Jefferson in 'The Great White Hope'. He went on to 'Othello', Paul Robeson and the part of Troy Maxson in August Wilson's 'Fences' for which he won his second Tony. In his new epilogue, Jones remembers the last decade: his most significant performances, his most meaningful experiences, ending with an account of a recent reunion of his now widely extended family. Here what matters most to James Earl Jones is quietly but most tellingly revealed.
