I'm certainly not ashamed of being white, though being a redhead I should know something about being a minority in some way. <br /><br />No, I think I agree with you about Nation. I felt it had been written from a very dark place, one where perhaps he was raging about his condition. I know I would have been. I also think that feeling was part of what made it so difficult to read. I remember mentioning it to my husband and saying this was the first TP book I couldn't finish when I've read and even reread so many of the others.Pippa Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15146591827060731958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7808733415551134993.post-3819505379951021232015-03-17T22:51:44.114-06:002015-03-17T22:51:44.114-06:00It's good to get another take on Diversity.

There's nothing at all wrong with being white :) I find it fascinating how we've each diverged (!) in our approaches.<br /><br />"Nation" was a rather strange book, definitely a stand-alone. But I hope you give it another go, in time. It's about two people from totally different cultures, backgrounds (and race) who come together to do good. I remember commenting at the time (and being jumped on for doing so) that the book shows Terry's Alzheimers for the first time. And, perhaps, his reaction to the diagnoses. Maybe I'm reading things that don't exist.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06011218229698210595noreply@blogger.com
