croire que plus rien ne nous demeure inconnu, est cependant différent, singulier, unique... L'enfant qui nous raconte ici son histoire était un élu de Dieu. Il ne vivait, depuis l'éveil de sa conscience, que pour Dieu, nourri du Talmud, ambitieux d'être initié à la Kabbale, voué à l'Eternel. Avions-nous jamais pensé à cette conséquence d'une horreur moins visible, moins frappante que d'autres abominations, - la pire de toutes, pourtant, pour nous qui possédons la foi : la mort de Dieu dans cette âme d'enfant qui découvre d'un seul coup le mal absolu ?You're sending me where?: dispatches from summer camp

Par Ntozake Shange. 2023
The Millions " Most Anticipated" Books of 2023 Never-before-seen unpublished works by award-winning American literary icon Ntozake Shange, featuring essays,…
plays, and poems from the archives of the seminal Black feminist writer who stands alongside giants like Toni Morrison and Alice Walker, curated by National Book Award winner Imani Perry with a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Tarana Burke. In the late '60s, Ntozake Shange was a student at Barnard College discovering her budding talent as a writer, publishing in her school's literary journal, and finding her unique voice. By the time she left us in 2018, Shange had scorched blazing trails across countless pages and stages, redefining genre and form as we know them, each verse, dance, and song a love letter to Black women and girls, and the community at large. Sing a Black Girl's Song is a new posthumous collection of Shange's unpublished poems, essays, and plays from throughout the life of the seminal Black feminist writer. In these pages we meet young Shange, learn the moments that inspired for colored girls who have considered suicide/when the rainbow is enuf..., travel with an eclectic family of musicians, sit on "The Couch" opposite Shange's therapist, and discover plays written after for colored girls' international success. Sing a Black Girl's Song houses, in their original form, the literary rebel's politically charged verses from the Black Arts Movement era alongside her signature tender rhythm and cadence that capture the minutia and nuance of Black life. Sing a Black Girl's Song is the continuation of a literary tradition that has bolstered generations of writers and a long-lasting gift from one of the fiercest and most highly celebrated artists of our timeHow to Party Like a Snail
