‘To be someone’s daughter is to carry a great burden. To become yourself, you must reject, kill, refuse the mother, leave home, write books and essays against her, marry a white man, build a life that is illegible to her.’ Ogazielum Mba on Jamaica Kincaid: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

I didn’t want to write this for a long time. I feel disgusted, afraid, ashamed. I can’t write about everything I know because I have to protect the people who’ve saved my life. On February 24, 2...

Saw LIFE OF IVANNA last night. Brilliant depiction of indigenous nomadic tundra woman. Yes, I had to duck into the bathroom and cry. No conventional narrative or happy ending here. So impressed with this film I have to share the link to the trailer: youtu.be/0onexJOLPw0?...
