"I should've listened to my instinct. I thought *maybe* the author would surprise me. No.
I don't want to shit on a Black debut author so I'm going to hold off on publicly writing about this until I parse out the author's intentions." — Nov 22, 2018 10:55AM

"I finished this book yesterday. I'm writing a thorough review for an outlet but for now, I'll say this is a good book. I think the disconnect I experienced was a consequence of the fact that I read a digital version (not my preference) and I read while in a completely different environment from which I usually do (immersed in a highly social residency).
I'll update when the review runs." — Oct 07, 2018 09:20AM

“What is an adjective? Nouns name the world. Verbs activate the names. Adjectives come from somewhere else. The word adjective (epitheton in Greek) is itself an adjective meaning 'placed on top', 'added', 'appended', 'foreign'. Adjectives seem fairly innocent additions, but look again. These small imported mechanisms are in charge of attaching everything in the world to its place in particularity. They are the latches of being.”
