I read Blackface, it was very good. Being from Chicago, the book really resonated with me. I look forward to reading what journey Face and Jazz encounter . Looking forward to see what emotions this book invokes. The triggering of emotions in my opinion is the key to excellent writing. Emotions are what allows us to feel alive and when an author successfully And intentionally invokes emotions, that author can take us anywhere via his or her words. That’s powerful.
I think QB is hitting his stride with writing. He’s been in the for a while with his various literary venture. He is definitely a person I look up to. Thank you for your comment. Please, do stop by and comment whenever you like.
