For instance, he took great delight in giving very negative speeches to white audiences that he knew his interpreter was going to have to clean up on the fly. That made me laugh.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-5364906471585179202021-11-26T16:25:02.416-06:002021-11-26T16:25:02.416-06:00It's really well written, Jen.

It's in a style that I find very readable, and it includes pages and pages of references and citations that can lead to a whole lot more reading.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-24442230538220926112021-11-26T16:24:13.564-06:002021-11-26T16:24:13.564-06:00Annie is featured quite prominently in the book fr...Annie is featured quite prominently in the book from about the middle on.

I do sometimes wonder if I'm doing the same thing with nonfiction written in a more narrative style.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-2090887249763817822021-11-26T14:12:49.366-06:002021-11-26T14:12:49.366-06:00This is right up my alley.
