Hua Hsu
“Even then, they understood that American life is unbounded promise and hypocrisy, faith and greed, new spectrums of joy and self-doubt, freedom enabled by enslavement. All of these things at once.”
Hua Hsu, Stay True: A Memoir

August Wilson
“Somewhere the moon has fallen through a window and broken into thirty pieces of silver.”
August Wilson, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom

James   McBride
“But pretending to know everything and acting like you’re better than you know you are puts a terrible strain on a body. It makes you a stumbling stone to your own justice.”
James McBride, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store

Ling  Ma
“It doesn't take much to convince yourself that you're doing okay, just some discretionary income and a regularity to your days.”
Ling Ma, Bliss Montage

James   McBride
“It was a future they couldn’t quite see, where the richness of all they had brought to the great land of promise would one day be zapped into nothing, the glorious tapestry of their history boiled down to a series of ten-second TV commercials, empty holidays, and sports games filled with the patriotic fluff of red, white, and blue, the celebrants cheering the accompanying dazzle without any idea of the horrible struggles and proud pasts of their forebears who had made their lives so easy.”
James McBride, The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store
