Ibram X. Kendi, How to Be an Antiracist

Yaa Gyasi
“According to a 2015 study by T. M. Luhrmann, R. Padmavati, H. Tharoor, and A. Osei, schizophrenics in India and Ghana hear voices that are kinder, more benevolent than the voices heard by schizophrenics in America. In the study, researchers interviewed schizophrenics living in and around Chennai, India; Accra, Ghana; and San Mateo, California. What they found was that many of the participants in Chennai and Accra described their experiences with the voices as positive ones. They also recognized the voices as human voices, those of a neighbor or a sibling. By contrast, none of the San Mateo participants described positive experiences with their voices. Instead, they described experiences of being bombarded by harsh, hate-filled voices, by violence, intrusion.”
Yaa Gyasi, Transcendent Kingdom

Lydia Millet, Dinosaurs

“There was nothing he wasn't willing to fail at. Besides denying his racism, it was his most American quality.”
