(That is, of course, not the official title.) Odysseus, our hero, spends decades trying to get back to his wife, son, and throne in...... [view]

I just finished The Colour Purple by Alice Walker (1983) This novel was interesting, even though it was difficult to overcome the narrative. It was perhaps one technique Walker used to convey how maltreated/misunderstood the black people were: by making the reader consciously aware of...... [view]
