This memorable scene from Morrison’s 1973 novel Sula stands out because of its sharp and simultaneous critiques of racism and patriarchy but also because of its revelations about the title character. Hear more about it on the Remarkable Receptions Podcast: tinyurl.com/33u29r6m

Important extension here. It also clarifies some distance between Coates and Klein. I was a bit surprised, disappointed that Klein seemed at times to talk far more than his guest at times. Ta-Nehisi Coates on Bridging Gaps vs. Drawing Lines nytimes.com/2025/09/28/opi…

@Dometi_ Yep. And not just that. He’s literally earning money/ views off her by showing her on his channel in that moment.

@Ebonyteach Whew, I've thought some on this issue of "productivity," in Af-Am lit, like Ralph Ellison publishing one novel while living. I read this piece with one novelist talking about struggling to write book #2 after her first was selected by Oprah. On and on and on.

@james3neal @123POW @james3neal, look how small the world is. When my younger brother began as a professor, Peace was his collaborating librarian. They worked at UT Arlington on various projects together.

@dan_sinykin Seems strange to say in the moment, but Whitehead's Harlem Shuffle and Crook Manifesto were about where Everett's James is. But yes, Underground received a really outstanding reception -- arguably the largest of any Af-Am authored novel over last decade.

@Dometi_ , for unit #3, my Black lit class will cover points about crime fiction. One of the exam questions will go: What SIUE graduate and former GAME student hosted a television series on MTV about crime? I'll check in later to let you know how many people get it right. 🤣

I somehow forgot to add Ultimate Black Panther to my comic book pull list. But when I got to my local shop, they had it for me. How? Why? "We know you want anything @bryanedwardhill writes," they said.

@proseb4bros, ok, we've never met, but that loud sound you heard this weekend was just me gasping and going, "heeeey!!!" when your book made a cameo in "American Fiction." Good look.
