Gotta go with Pierre

I’m on my second read through. I plan on reading several translations of it. I have six different ones.

That is giraffreaking amazing

I read The Bluest Eye in February and it was amazing. It was very disturbing/intense and at the time I almost saw it as a negative, so that even though the quality of writing was insanely good, it was hard to read because it was graphic. But looking back I can’t justify my opinion of the book because it made a 42 year old white man uncomfortable. I’m sure it’s supposed to. It’s a perfect book and an A+ from me, and I give very few of those. I initially “only” gave it an A. I bought a box set of her first six novels recently and can’t wait to read them. She is 100% one of the best writers out there.
