Here's "Hated by Literature," another essay from my well published yet unpublishable manuscript, The Vagabond's Bookshelf. I'm grateful to the editors of Solstice because this was the one chapter from the manuscript that was difficult to place. I might draw the conclusion that most journals don't care to publish ambivalencies about Malcolm X, especially when a white woman writes them.

LOL I note that you seem to really love using the colon in this article. In my recent rant on punctuation, I had to comment! LOL again.
Seriously though, I enjoyed your take on reading. There are books that hate me too, but not for whiteness. Well, maybe because I am not white, though I look white. The books that hate me do so for reasons of their own overblown sense of self (Eudora Welty's writing hates me as well as much of Hemmingway's writing does... LOL) The Moonlight series by Stephanie Myers hates me too because I am alive and can really read. I fear I may be bitten at the full of the moon for hating it back. LOL
ooops... meant to say in light of my recent rant
Virginia Woolf was another dedicated colon user, sometimes in very idiosyncratic ways. But for nonstop comma splices, no one can beat Iris Murdoch.
