I have not felt this way about a book since Beloved. I knew early on the book was going to cut me up. I ended up with my soul pierced. – source2019-12-20T23:08:06.000Z
@goodreads @taffyakner @thrillkinson @itsDanielSuarez @blakecrouch1 @eliotpeper @RonanFarrow @cbracy The Water Dancer, by Ta-Nehesi Coates. Coates sees us—all of us—with a clarity that is as unnerving as it is breathtaking. He sees our failures, our aspirations, our hypocrisy, our pettiness, our beauty. Astounding book. – source
