#fridayreads: 9/11 edition
Fight for Your Long Day is more of a War on Terror than 9/11 novel, but I'm sure that the good folks at interlibrary loan would want you to access a copy. If purchases are more to your pleasure, then shipped paperback copies of Auggie's Revenge and Fight for Your Long Day remain available at reasonable prices. There are also affordable copies of Auggie's Revenge at Apple Books, on eBay, and for Kindle as well as at Bookshop and Smashwords.

The Brother from Another Planet
"and we the privileged few / from metal folding chairs in the dark / peep-a-show the world presents The Brother from Another Planet / you tell the white boy made it / the audacity / to think that / black people were universal slaves / when we are fucked on earth / thats all / just fucked up on earth"
