I always love Morrison’s writing. In a way I wish I didn’t read the introduction before reading the short story so I could be part of the experiment. But then again, I’m glad I read the introduction so I had the context of the meaning behind the story. I’m not sure I would have caught on without that.
Graphic: Ableism, Bullying, Physical abuse, Racism, and Toxic friendship
