Um, so I’ve never read a zombie novel and have to say I’m not familiar with Colson -BUT NOW I AM. I mean, c’mon: “…He missed the women he’d never get to sleep with, On the other side of the room, tantalizing at the next table,” the ones who “wore too much makeup or projected complex emotions onto small animals,…” I see that! Thanks for surfacing him. I’m excited to read his work and learn a thing or two.
Well, you're in for a treat if you've never read Colson Whitehead. All I can say is pace yourself--it's dense, but wonderful (even the zombies, which aren't my thing either!). Let me know what you read & what you think!
Congratulations on winning a second grant! Onward and upward!
