A: Novels are powerful stories about poor black women, told from the perspective of beautiful white women. And as any white woman will tell you: they. are. good. Real good. But as any literature critic will tell you, they aren't just good because they're about good things like Reconstruction, they're good because they have a secret double meaning. The secret meanings are "forgive your rapist/your daughter's rapist" and "just be yourself."
The best novel is The Secret Life of Bees. I love everything about it: from the commercials, to Dakota Fanning, to wondering who gets raped.
I also love what a perfect opportunity it is to start this dialogue: why do rich white women love this brand of emotional woman-pain so much? These books are like Saw for moms. They're mom porn. Does it take the shape of SLoB because women are super in touch with their emotions and bodies, as women? Or is it because they hate themselves? Or is it because they're bored? Or is it because they hate themselves?
Book Review
by: Just Mom!
I just read a great new book. Only 1 slave got raped, but I still learned about how important it is to form relationships with other women, and to be myself.
Thanks slaves!
