The New York Times published an article today entitled "Pushing Boundaries, Mixed-Race Artists Gain Notice" that featured Heidi W. Durrow, author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky; Mat Johnson, author of our LFPC discussion book for May, Pym: A Novel; Danzy Senna, author of the short story collection You Are Free; and others. Here's the article:

The article also mentions that the NPR show Tell Me More is conducting the "Summer Blend Book Club", exploring writing by mixed-race authors. Here's more about it:

I recently read Wingshooters by Nina Revoyr. It was in O's Magazine in March for books to watch out for and won the Indie Bookseller Choice Award

The main character is 9 yrs old. Her father is White and the mother is Japanese, like the author.

The book deals with the racial tensions in the 70's. It was good what I like most was the ending.
