I was lucky to be there live for this event. So great to be able to listen again. Finished the book today! I am sad it is over but will likely read this one again.
The book sucked.
Everyone knows it
Only a small penis individual has a problem with Jim.
(We'll just ignore that flat out racist implications that not even Mark Twain, who lived closer to slavery, cane up with)
I just finished Erasure, 5 Stars! Absolutely a brilliant writer! I will be reading James next!
Great interview about a brilliant book!
Thank you for sharing this conversation!
Everett supports the murder ofvthe descendants of lynchers (despite not being alive when the lynching happened).
Talk about insecurity😊
