Those are great ones—I’ve also had good experiences assigning Hansberry, A Raisin in the Sun; William March, Company K, and Victor Daly, Not Only War (both on WWI); Yezierska, Bread Givers. Trying out Killers of the Flower Moon this fall.

What a great piece. Very helpful and poignant as I’m finishing up a manuscript on the age of the buffalo soldier—much has changed since then, much hasn’t.

If you’re in Tuscaloosa today don’t forget to vote “yes” on a property tax increase to help out our criminally underfunded city public schools!

Wow, that brings back memories. I also did that with TV sitcoms to listen to later—yes, only the audio. I sort of invented a lame version of the VCR.

It’s publication day for my brilliant friend and colleague Holly Grout! A book about exceptional women, written by an exceptional woman. Judge this book by its fabulous cover (can confirm the insides are as spectacular as the outside) 🗃️📚
