Some people like to say that Black people should get over the past, that it is unfair for contemporary people to still be bitter about the history that their people have suffered.

Review: A Visit From The Goon Squad
It is not a novel.
I happen to enjoy short stories.
What I don’t enjoy is having a book that calls itself a novel start off with an interesting protagonist only to discover that she is only the protagonist for 18 pages.
