Happy Friday!
I am reading a fascinating book: The Known World, by Edward P. Jones. It takes place in Virginia, about 2 dozen years before the Civil War, and is about a former black slave whose parents freed themselves, then bought his freedom, but then he himself becomes a slave owner. The writing is complex and beautiful. It isn’t a fast read. You have to consider each page carefully. Beautifully done so far, though I’m only about 30% through.
