About Toni Morrison

Actually my sign didn't make sense without Roberta's.
I didn't kick her; I didn't join in with the gar girls and kick that lady, but I sure did want to.
The Friday Letter
One story from the atlas, every Friday.
No algorithms chasing attention. A work, a place, and the connection between them — with the history checked.
