Didn't Nobody Give a Shit What Happened to Carlotta by James Hannaham

Quotes by James Hannaham  (?)

“Y'all think a body be who you is, but it ain't nothing but a motherfucking sack of meat.”
James Hannaham, Delicious Foods

“She kept seeing brothers she would think was him from far away and then get close and be like Oh, can’t be him, he got hands.”
James Hannaham, Delicious Foods

“A story might help you get through your life, he said, but it doesn't literally keep you alive -- if anything, most often people who have power turn their story into a brick wall keeping out somebody else's truth, so that they can continue the life they believe themselves to be leading, trying somehow to preserve the idea that they're good people in their small lives, despite their involvement, however indirect, with bigger evils.”
James Hannaham, Delicious Foods

James Hey Guys & Gals: You've gotta help me out here. Just vote enough to get GOD SAYS NO above Jonathan Littell's THE KINDLY ONES. That's all I ask.
