Thanks for the book recommendation! I just put The Boy From Clearwater on hold at the library :) Also looking at your list of upcoming books for the book club, I'd recommend sneaking in the graphic novel Big Jim and the White Boy: An American Classic Reimagined by David F. Walker. It's a really fast read and I thought it was so compelling. It would be great to compare to James. (I still need to read James by Percival Everett, but did read several of his wife, Danzy Senna's books this winter.)
Ahh, I heard about this graphic novel through you, and i can't wait to read it!! thanks for the rec. Did you like Danzy Senna? I read New People and thought it was great.
I did like Danzy Senna! I read her novel Colored Television first and thought it was so good. Then I read her memoir, Where Did you Sleep Last Night?, that has a lot of family history woven into it. Her memoir came out in 2010 and it added even more layers to my understanding of her as an author.
Yes! You should crowdfund and start a publishing house!
haha thanks for the encouragement Gina! You are the best.
