I'm a bit late to the party on this one, but oh so glad I've finally arrived.
What a book!
This week the big "Twitter" news was regarding John Wayne's Playboy interview of years ago thru the eyes of the post Me Too movement. This book felt this way to me. So much of it was cringe worthy, horrific, unbelievable, disgusting, harsh, racist to the extreme, and yet if I lived in the America of that time, would I feel the same? I like to think so, but would I be that brave? Lots to think about.
Highly recommended .

Quotes Debi Liked
“If I could do it, I’d do no writing at all here. It would be photographs; the rest would be fragments of cloth, bits of cotton, lumps of earth, records of speech, pieces of wood and iron, phials of odors, plates of food and of excrement. . . . A piece of the body torn out by the roots might be more to the point. —JAMES AGEE, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men”
