I must admit I had some difficulty reading Mr. Coates's book. Perhaps because the book was written in a form of stream of consciousness. It began on one page and continued on . . . no chapters, no segments, nothing. Just one long statement. I am not ridiculing, just making a statement. Also, I have nothing in common with the author. Which is one reason why I chose to read his book, in an effort to gain some understanding. Usually I can come away from such an encounter with at least a different point of view, but in this situation, I got nothing but bitterness from the author. I have read other books by writers of color. I have friends of color and culture. But . . . and I can not put my finger on it, maybe I am not ready for his work, maybe I never will be. Maybe he and I both have some growing to do.
