...people who invented it and the suffering that created it. Without black work gangs to clear the thickly wooded Delta plain and sharecroppers to pick the cotton, there would have been no plantation economy; without African Americans to sing the work songs and field chants and slide their knife blades and bottlenecks across the strings of diddley bows and mail-order guitars, there would be no Delta blues. And without the blues, there would be no rock 'n' roll to conquer the world and help sell all those burgers and jeans and Fords and Chevys. The poorest, most oppressed people...
...found its way into Kenan's fiction. In the short story Clarence and the Dead, the young title character demonstrates an unnerving gift of clairvoyance: "He told Sarah Phillips to stop fretting, that her husband forgave her for the time she tried to stab him with that hunting knife; he told Cleavon Simpson his mama despised him for tricking her to sign all of her property over to him...he told people things a four-year-old boy ain't had no business knowing the language for, let alone the circumstances around them.

Deftones scrapes the rust off the metal/hip-hop genre...
...fear of rejection and ridicule rule her beliefs. She is a tremendously clear thinker who has a great insight into the human soul.

Dr. Laura's knife is sharp and her scalpel tends to cut right to the core of who we are and how we were created. She doesn't seem to have a lot of time or patience in putting up with deceit or self-deception...
...clumsy innocent who finds comic epiphanies in degradation and atrocity. This film, with handsome Billy Crudup as FH and Samantha Morton as his doomed love, has no visual style to match Johnson's poetic prose. It just lays out the funny-gory scenes--say, a man with a hunting knife in his eye--and hopes you get the point. It's best to see this as a drug buffet. Graze through the vignettes (with such visiting dignitaries as Holly Hunter and Dennis Hopper), and you'll find three or four tasty bits to snack...
