Tonight I went to a presentation by the novelist Danzy Senna (I will admit my ignorance—this is the first I had heard of her). She gave an excellent talk—I know that it was excellent because now I want to read her books ( Caucasia, Symptomatic, and You Are Free--a collection of short stories--). She is a mixed-race Bostonian who writes from her experience with both of those. She spoke of being “racially homeless” and then brilliantly said:
“When you feel homeless you can make a home through
language.”
I encourage you to look her up and read her work.:
