    Why, in god's name, would anyone pay attention to Frank Bruni on how to resist Trump? That's a real question.

    "There are two very different sets of values," says , "manifest in two very distinct modes of discourse."

    I gobbled up all the Emecheta I could find for a few years, and from then on the old African Writers Series books had a talismanic appeal.

    One day, roaming The Strand in NYC, I found "Joys of Motherhood" on a shelf for a few dollars. Don't know why I bought it.

    In my entire education thru undergrad, was never assigned an African novel other than "Things Fall Apart", which I read badly & hated.

    Seeing word that Buchi Emecheta has died. Ugh. "Joys of Motherhood" was my gateway to so much. "2nd Class Citizen", too.

    This is absolutely America. It is and it doesn't do us any good to be ahistorical. Let's fight to build a better country.

    This is a dark day for America. Trump translating xenophobic campaign into policy. EOs declare open season on immigrants. Not my America.
