Nel is such a talented artist!

I take out few seconds or minutes to say a big thank you whenever I go through a good post. Nice work.

The police order them to bury their son that same night, to avoid a disturbance on Friday, the holiest day of the Muslim week. The parents try to negotiate, but it’s no use: unless they drop their demands, Ibrahim will not be released. The parents know the officers will not hesitate to kill him. Sayed Bilal is finally buried just before midnight.

In this way,

there's a flower
where a fine

in the novel
seaside.

It is hard to read this and not place oneself within the greater context of our social, political and human realities. I can't help but wonder if we need to reshift our focus from freedom, self-determination, and materialism to something more humane. Perhaps if we can all agree upon a definition of what a human is and what a human is not, travesties such as these can be averted. Bravo to you, Ms. Mengiste. You have given us a tale we can apply to any context in the world, to that member of our family who has risked everything for something more, for their right to be human. I think what many of us forget, the billions of us, is that this is a universal construct. We are all complicit, but we are also all in possession of real power that can make a difference. I hope this story, essay, moment in our collective history, is shared with all of those who refuse to see the power they have to make real changes in this world.

I've often thought that Detroit's history as a city forecast a lot of what came to pass all over the US economically and socially in the 70s. It's enlightening to receive glimpses of that bigger picture, through the lens of a memoir; it's a living snapshot from a place that has a lot to say. Waiting for more...!
