This is the definition of literary girl dinner. The tangibility that Brown paints into my ears is at times gorgeous, but mostly a source of unease. Everybody should read this.

Social commentary that is a blend of prose and poetry, past and present. I liked the intent more than the execution, as things were a little too liminal.
