I just finished reading A Small Place by Jamaica Kincaid, a little book about Antigua (a tiny island in the West Indies). The book itself is a joy to read, but also fueled entirely by rage.
It’s great. Somebody wrote that it’s “Swiftian” in its wit, which I think is a little unfair, but not entirely inaccurate. Definitely worth a read.
The next book I’m working on is about the Canadian Residential School system, and as somebody born and raised in Canada, it’s a tough read. But an important one, I think… sadly, more important for the people who won’t read it than it is for the people who will read it. But still. I’m glad it exists… I' don’t have it immediately at hand, otherwise I would quote the title, but I suspect I’ll finish it later today so I’ll put the title here on Tuesday.
Hope everyone out there is staying safe and healthy!
