Tarradiddle

A story is a relationship between an author and the world. Stories tell us about the world in which we live—even those that take place on other planets. They help us understand “the other,” and engage in healthy dialogue about things that scare us. Stories help us to not be afraid of our world so, one day, when we reach out to another world we will also not be afraid. Prepare yourself for engaging writing exercises and thought-provoking discussions. Terradiddle: pretentious nonsense from earth.

Review: The Ballad of Black Tom

The Ballad of Black Tom by Victor LaValle
My rating: 0 of 5 stars

This was a fun novella. Not entirely what I expected, but fun nonetheless. I really enjoyed the character of Tom and the police detective. I will have to look for more work by author Victor LaValle. Hopefully he has other books set in the same world so I can find out what happens to Tom and the detective moving forward. Fun read.
