Good evening from the UK everyone! Hope you’re all well. I’m on the last night of my little reading retreat and have barely done anything - just reading and relaxing which is perfect!

All of these books are still on my TBR. Is anyone surprised? 🙈 The Fatal Tree - Jake Arnott The Sweetness Of Water - Nathan Harris His Bloody Project - Graeme Macrae Burnet Vagina - A Re-Education - Lynn Enright The Sellout - Paul Beatty The Transgender Issue - Shon Faye Tom-All-Alone’s - Lynn Shepherd Milk Fed - Melissa Broder I’d love to know if you’ve read any of these books or authors and what your thoughts were.

The Sellout by Paul Beatty

[sustainablesabs]

Instead of shouting out a company this week, I want to introduce y'all to some of my favorite authors. There are plenty of David Sedaris' and John Irvings of the world, but not enough Chimamanda's, Paul's, Junot's, Jhumpa's and Imbolo's. I plan on getting my hands on some Ta-Nehisi Coates soon as well. Who are your favorite authors of color? • • • #authors #writers #authorsofcolor #reading #bookworm #doyougiveashit #books #americanah #thesellout #drown #thenamesake #beholdthedreamers

Nine years after completing The White Boy Shuffle, I picked this up and knew the high-brow snark would be a welcome change. Paul Beatty is a master (pun intended...just read it). If someone wants to mail me their copy of Slumberland I’ll gladly accept. #paulbeatty #thesellout #thewhiteboyshuffle #bookreview #instabooks #igreads https://www.instagram.com/p/CGujK_2jtsVWe4bssHeND7jZHVPg7aNwOj1BcA0/?igshid=hhtqupti8rw4

I loved reading this book. It’s a fictional story that pokes fun at race through a black character that attempts to reinstate segregation. It’s so outrageous that you’d often find yourself laughing out loud and shaking your head. But, I suppose, that is the point of satire! (📷: @keelybeereads) #TheSellout #PaulBeatty #BooksfortheSoul

What if I post here more in 2018?

I shouldn’t make any promises, given that I only put up two posts all of last year, but maybe right this minute (and maybe only right this minute) I’m at least making it a goal for myself to update this blog more frequently. It’s so sad and spare, and the only way to solve that is to add to it.

I finished The Sellout back in July of last year, and since then I’ve been mired in a trio of books: Substitute has remained only compelling enough to read in super short bursts, and Mary Beard’s SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome has been only slightly better, so when not digging into them, I’ve been picking away at Stephen King’s IT. In fact, I’ve lately been reading IT pretty much exclusively, but I hope to get back to the others somewhere down the line.

Why I chose to take a break from two long tomes with a third even longer tome is a question I don’t have a good answer for, except to say I saw the film adaptation of the King book back in September and got a hankering. I’ve had a thing for the author’s particular brand of refined pulp and his fine ability to spin a good yarn ever since I read Misery in early high school, and IT was one of the few of his thicker books that I hadn’t yet tackled. Why do all his major works seem to be major in size, too?

Anyway, maybe making a more concerted effort to report back here will keep me reading all three books a little more frequently. And maybe I can even find some more interesting things to say about them and how I’m reading them—rather than merely noting that I am reading them.

commentaria Iulii, anzi, per una critica del commento ( II )

Una volta letto Lo schiavista di Paul Beatty (titolo originale: The Sellout), la tentazione è di provare a dire molte cose sul razzismo, ma mi impegno a frenare questo vezzo quanto prima. La tentazione è amplificata dal fatto di pensare se stessi come non-razzisti tra parecchi razzisti, cioè in un paese come l’Italia che, suo malgrado, è molto più razzista di quanto non sia conveniente in chiesa, e quindi anche fuori. Ma penso sarebbe molto stupido da parte mia parlarne con supposta autorevolezza e serietà saggistica. Mi limito a tirare frecciatine quando sento qualcuno pronunciare una frase che mi sembra parecchio razzista, conscia o meno; ma non ne faccio un pregio, perché so che in realtà non sto dicendo niente. È come se stessi soffiando aria; le mie non sono nemmeno parole di grande senso compiuto. E la mia non è una lotta; al più, è un apatico snob disprezzo. Al netto, bianco.
