go off Lena !!! loved that soeech and that side of the narrative, milkman is a spoiled brat which is made 10x worse by him being a man. the stealing / gold plot line will probably be his road to redemption where he gets rid of his hatred of his family and develops morals of his own (hopefully)

theres so much happening wow! i liked hagar but maybe because she reminds me of violet; the gold idk about yet; the "race war" years is an interesting place for a morrison novel to go and i havent read anything on it yet xcept for that great bbaldwin essay a while back

love how morrison can make me empathetic even for ruth here; also i see the common thread of the violent and deranged sides of love between this and jazz

i like the 3-generations coven. the writing is good but the characters seem kind of inconsitent to me and some images are spelt out a little too much imo
