for spell #7. 3.5. it was an interesting read although i'm not sure if it really accomplished what shange wanted it to. none of her characters seemed to be transcending any stereotypes and the syntax only seemed to reinforce them to an extent. also don't agree with shange's militant attitude, but that's another story
