there were like 3 different displays for this books, with postings of reviews from the NYT and clips from other reviews and every book has a sticker that it's the B&N book of the year. never seen such a forcememe.

I agree with you 98%

but there is some value in pointing out that something is shit to stop shitlibs forcememing garbage as "genius, so brave" because without any resistance they will do that and then school kids are stuck having to read and praise this garbage because nobody said "no"

Wife isn't technically white. It says in her bio that one of her grandmothers was a nig and one of her grandfathers a mexican (though was probably white mexican given the italian surname)

---

Her father’s identity, she says, is “as murky as the Louisiana swamp where he’d been born. He is neither a real Southerner nor a real Northerner. He is neither fully black nor fully Mexican nor fully white. . . . He is half of everything and certain of nothing.”

being passably white but having your divorced marxist black dad insist on you identifying as an oppressed nig must do a number on your mental health

---

As Senna later noted in an interview related to publication of her memoir, Where Did You Sleep Last Night? (2009), their father wanted "to hammer racial consciousness home to his three light-skinned children"; all have identified as Black.

lol at this, what a shitshow:

https://www.courthousenews.com/author-sues-daughter-over-memoir/

A retired author sued his daughter, claiming she defamed him in a memoir that describes him as an abusive alcoholic. Carl Senna sued Danzy Senna and publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux in Superior Court, over his daughter's book, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night, A Personal History."

According to the New York Times Book Review, "Where Did You Sleep Last Night, A Personal History," follows Danzy Senna's quest to discover "if her father's alcohol-fueled descent from young literary lion of the 1960s ... to abusive husband and neglectful parent has to do with the negative space left by the father he never knew."

James,[30] published by Doubleday in 2024, is a re-imagining of Mark Twain's Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the perspective of the runaway slave character Jim.[31] Everett humanizes the character, who goes by James, re-inventing him as a wise and literate man, who has conversations with enlightenment philosophers in his dreams and teaches other enslaved people to read. James and the other black characters in the book purposefully hide their literacy and wisdom from the white characters who will undoubtedly feel threatened by educated blacks and further punish them. Although opposed to book banning, Everett commented that he hoped his re-imagined version would get banned "only because I like irritating those people who do not think and read".[3] James was longlisted for the 2024 Booker Prize[32] and chosen for the Booker Prize shortlist.[33] The novel won the Kirkus Prize for Fiction[34] and the National Book Award for Fiction.[35]

honestly this shit is barely one step above Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

and before anyone starts lisping about the Aeneid, if you're virgil they let you do it.
