Ta Nehisi Coates: From Deb
The review of BETWEEN The WORLD & ME that I recommended is written by Randall Kennedy, titled A CARICATURE OF BLACK REALITY: http://prospect.org/article/ta-nehisi-coatess-caricature-black-reality –essentially saying “Ta-Nehisi Coates has written the race book of the year. Too bad it’s disempowering.” Although I often disagreed with Kennedy, I found the essay a well written, engaging assessment.
Share your thoughts on M Train by Patti Smith!
From Margie: “I’m having a blast listening to M Train — the Audible.com version is read by Patti Smith herself, as I knit along. Anyway, if you’ve gotten into it, you’ll know that Catherine’s menu need only consist of black coffee and ‘brown toast.'”
