‘The Mothers,’ a Debut Novel, Is Already Creating a Stir
The new novel from Brit Bennett, known for essays about racial injustice, is shaping up to be one of the fall’s biggest literary debuts.Writers are told to write what they know.
Brit Bennett seems to have done that.
There is theory for ending a novel as there is theory for landing an airplane.
Meet the conditions within the constraints, the task is accomplished.
Practice helps.
I would be willing to try to read "The Mothers".

Marina Abramovic: By the Book
The performance artist and author of “Walk Through Walls” doesn’t have a severe temperament: “I have a dark sense of humor which is very much from the Balkans — I love dirty jokes.”I am not pleased by the shape of her mind as shown here.
It may be just my ignorance.

A Haitian City Was Finally Prospering. Then Came Hurricane Matthew.
Along with hundreds of lives, the storm wiped out much of the progress that the isolated city, Jérémie, had been making.Matthew was not the areas first hurricane.

Much has survived. Much will regrow.

Review: Elena Ferrante Wants Privacy. Her New Book Implies Otherwise.
In “Frantumaglia,” a collection of essays, letters and interviews, she undermines her declaration that her work is “self-sufficient” and that she should be anonymous.I am not a fan.
