This books is a roller coaster of feeling and thought and the fact it refuses a linear structure is what makes it able to bend the way it does. Nadine is so many things. The way ray responds to her is really telling. Also all the allusions to other black (women) writers: Alice Walker, ntozake, Margaret Walker, and Ernest Gaines is fascinating. D’Angelo and lauryn hill shout-out is crazy. Sensuality is ever present.
