Welcome to Litsy!

Here's to a sane and sensible 2017. We finally made it out of the trenches. As Ralph Ellison wrote, "Beware of those who speak of the spiral of history; they are preparing a boomerang. Keep a steel helmet handy."

Best wishes. Happy New Year!

"The Sellout" is not only the best book I read this month, it is the best book I read all year. Fearless, pants-shittingly funny, and deadly serious. A satire of race and class that rips America a new one. Public Enemy said, "Don't believe the hype." In Beatty's case, believe it. I want to sing this book's praises from the rooftop. Not bad considering Beatty joked that he wrote it because he was broke.
