Very well written

The French writer expresses himself with grace and sophistication. About a world completely foreign to civilized man. A totally captivating true story about a year with the Eskimos.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 4
When Hamed Amiri was 10 years old, he watched his mother give a speech in his home town of Herat, Afghanistan, speaking out for women’s rights and education and against the ruling Taliban. That night, an order was given for her execution. The family packed up their most precious belongings and escaped in darkness, starting what would be a long and dangerous journey. But his mother's was not the only life in danger. Hamed’s older brother suffered from a rare heart condition, and this escape offered a chance of life-saving treatment in the West.

Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick is an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration, gender and class, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African-American folk culture. Brought together for the first time in one volume, they include eight of Hurston’s "lost" Harlem stories, which were found in forgotten periodicals and archives. These stories challenge conceptions of Hurston as an author of rural fiction and include gems that flash with her biting, satiric humor, as well as more serious tales.

Aunjanue Ellis is such a good reader. She should re-record Their Eyes Were Watching God, unabridged. The existing recording is of poor audio quality, and Aunjanue would make that book sing. I hope she records many more books. I can't wait to listen to them.

Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 10
The book begins with one of the experiences that I survived while hitchhiking in Florida. I continue by writing about my life as a blind person. How did my parents handle the news no parent can possibly be prepared for - that I was totally blind? How did I handle my blindness, and how did my need to be independent deeply influence my future? It also colorfully discusses my time in a residential school for the blind and some of the conflicting emotions that impacted me, such as feeling sad and abandoned when being sent away from home at the age of four years old.

Misleading title
- De Joy Tilton en 10-19-18
An Inspiring Story
Revisado: 05-05-18
The title is a little misleading, because it is about so much more, but completely appropriate, because it about doing the seemingly impossible. This is the story of a boy blind from birth who lives to the extent possible as though he could see. It kept jarring my normal way of thinking about blindness, hearing about all the things he was able to do. This is not about a disabled person who remains in the shelter of his home. I kept thinking I could not do the things he did. It left me with awe and respect for him. The story is also about over the period of a lifetime, overcoming overwhelming emotional adversity, and choosing to live in spite of it.
