Notes From Your Bookseller
Notes From Your Bookseller

Sometimes we read something so fundamentally stirring that we find ourselves speechless in the face of so many tumbling thoughts. Caste is one of those books. Isabel Wilkerson is one of those writers. She reminds us that “we are responsible for our own ignorance or, with time and openhearted enlightenment, our own wisdom.” In this magnificent work of history, narrative, social commentary, philosophy and inspired storytelling, she offers us a new frame, a deeper focal point and new language to help us toward a reckoning long overdue. Quite a gift.

Her narration journey started with a botched audition for the American Foundation for the Blind. Her Broadway talents got in the way — their critique was to “over enunciate”, not over act. Luckily, they […]
