Monday November 24: "Navajos Don't Wear Elk Teeth" by Conley Lyons. "The first sign of trouble came when I walked outside and saw my homemade pride flag snarled up over its crossbar."

Uh! I’m so sorry. I hope you’re doing okay.

Sunday November 23: "Dance for Me" by Amina Gautier. "The girls on Lexington had it the worst. Hated maroon skirts the color of dried blood. Navy blazers complete with gaudy emblem. Goldenrod blouses with Peter Pan collars. And knee socks. Actually, knee socks weren't so bad."

After my reread of "Recitatif" I read Namwali Serpell's essay "Misreading Recitatif" from On Morrison due out in January from @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social.

Saturday November 22: "Recitatif" by Toni Morrison. "My mother danced all night and Roberta's was sick."

Wonderful.

Congratulations! One of my personal favorite books this year and one I keep thinking about.
