That is an excellent nonfiction book.

Must be, as I have no idea what dumba*** means. I would say it means dumbass, but there's an extra asterisk in there. Oh, wait, did you mean to add some sort of footnote? Like, dumbass*. *I am not sure how many letters are in this word. Or maybe you DID mean dumbasss and there's an implied...

The gun did the same thing, just all at once. I got the gun and the scar. I have no idea how I got polio vaccine, though.

For what it's worth (and I know it isn't much), my opinion of The Help is the same as it was when the book came out. I started reading it and had to stop. An article about the controversy over American Dirt, which gets into quite a bit of detail about both the book and the issues.

Hmm, well, the story began with Aibilene, but Stockett realized early on that she was going to have a problem speaking as a black domestic, and thus Skeeter was born. For all the criticism Stockett has received for her book, I think it would have been much more problematic for her to write from...

Absolutely. But while tribute is certainly nice, money in your pocket is nicer. It's not that it was written by a white woman. It's that it is a book that is supposed to be about the experiences of black women who work as domestics that is told from the perspective of a heroic white woman by...
