This isn’t going to be the comparative review I’d like to piece together (I’m short on time, without an internet connection, and without copies of either book), but if I don’t write something now I probably never will. I first discovered Ta-Nehisi’s blog thanks to @cbra...

At the dawn of our then-budding romance HP asked me for some help with his website. “Dawg, I am on top of PHP and coding,” he wanted to clarify, “but this WordPress template shit doesn’t make no sense to this ESL-educated mo-fo.” And so, he wanted to pay me money to ins...

I have seen a city besieged by itself; a town commit suicide, and a island under terror. So I don’t have as bright a view. Worlds end. All the time. Southern California may seem very different from any from these places, but sometimes a scratch, not even that deep, reveals what is roiling unde...
