Reading on the porch...


First of all Coates writing is brilliant. 
I have read Between the World and Me and several of his Atlantic articles.
His fiction debut is magical, literally. Hiram is a slave with powers of memory and conduction. The Tasked are individual in their humanity. They suffer slavery but also pain and love. The Water Dancer is a moving, interesting novel.  #TheWaterDancer #Ta-NehisiCoates #NetGalley

  1. I am reading Native Son by the first black man to make the best seller list. Disturbing in its violence. The Water Knife, unsettling in its greed and inhumanity. Listening to The Hobbit because I am the only person on earth who has not read it.
