I’ve read “Harlem Shuffle” and all of ’s and I taught his first at NYU and published an article about it in a scholarly journal and I love, love, love his work and can’t wait to read his new “Crook’s Manifesto.” He’s my fave rave. He is the awesome-ist. nytimes.com/2023/07/13/books/r

"Q: Why write about slavery? Haven’t we had enough stories about slavery? Why do we need another one?"

The Nickel Boys by

It takes place in the 1960s and it's about Elwood Curtis, a Black boy who gets (unfairly) sentenced to an abusive reform school called Nickel Academy.

Nickel Academy is based on a real reform school that operated in Florida for 111 years.

The Most Anticipated Books of 2023

Some of my favorite writers have new books coming out in 2023, including 's followup.

I read mostly fiction written by a diverse group of authors, inclusive of genders, ethnicities, nationalities, religions, ages and races. If you can, broaden your reading experience to include a book written by someone "different" from you.

“It was the last time he raised his hand. The way he saw it, living taught you that you didn’t have to live the way you’d been taught to live. You came from one place but more important was where you decided to go.”

Ask me again tomorrow and I'm sure it'll be completely different!
