Read 2 times. Last read June 2, 2015 to June 15, 2015.
This is one of the smartest, funniest, most original books I've ever read. Wildly inventive. One of a kind. Makes me happy to be alive.

""Louise was once challenged to name a food she did not like. She paused to consider. That pause was now in its fifteenth year. During that time, she spoke of other things, lived her life, paid attention to what was going on, to all appearances; but all the while--simmering on the back burner, as it were--she was trying to bring to the boil of consciousness the category of food she had once tasted at Ida Ledbetter's.."

1974. An essay on the novel just got published last month in The New Yorker, here:I'd love to read Equiano with you. Just let me know when you're ready.
Sold! Thanks for the article. And I'll poke you when I get around to Obadiah.
ps you wanna read Obadiah Equiano's narrative with me? Mat Johnson rocketed that one up my list. I'm not totally sure I'm about to read it, but I might be.
