Martha S. Jones:
If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?
Martha S. Jones
In her novel, The Color Line, Igiaba Scego creates an imaginary, nineteenth century Rome. It is a place populated by Black American sojourners including her protagonist, Lafranu Brown. Lafranu's life there as an artists and her long liaison with Frederick Bailey (a nod to Frederick Douglass, fascinate me. Could I visit Lafranu's world I would probably take a seat in her painting studio and listen in to the fascinating conversation that take place there. First, I'd need to improve my Italian!
