"Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. That is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her back. She didn't like discomfort; even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes. Therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to some-where. To a large place, a comfortable place, an indoor place, and preferably a beautiful place. And that's why she decided upon the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City." — E.L. Konigsburg, From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler

Have you read Beloved by Toni Morrison?

Tananarive Due, author of Mazywood, says "When I hear the phrase 'Great American Novel,' the first book that comes to mind is Toni Morrison’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel Beloved. As a writer who is best known for writing horror—a genre that often is derided in terms of its literary value–I’m mindful that Morrison’s novel is especially powerful because it’s about a murdered child’s ghost haunting the mother who chose infanticide over her baby’s bo***ge. It’s based on the true-life story of an enslaved woman named Margaret Garner, who made headlines in 1856 after she made the same tragic choice.

Although it was published in 1987, today Beloved feels like an even more apt metaphor expressing the cost of slavery that continues to haunt this nation. Beyond that, Morrison’s exploration of Sethe and her family’s horrific journey personalizes the lasting trauma of slavery more acutely than any statistics or history book ever could. That is the power of historical literature—to create people we care about plucked from history to serve as our personal witnesses and help us feel the lessons of the past. We cannot understand the history of this country without engaging with the true trauma of slavery and its aftermath, so Beloved, to me, is the Great American Novel."

Have you read Slaughterhouse-Five by Kurt Vonnegut?

Paul Tremblay, author of the Dead but Dreaming of Electric Sheep, says "I was a late bloomer when it came to reading for pleasure and by the time I found my way to Kurt Vonnegut’s Slaughterhouse-Five I was married, in my late twenties, and fully wrestling with adulthood (as in, wtf am I gonna do now?). The novel’s protagonist, Billy Pilgrim, unstuck in time and within the narrative, is the novel’s beating heart. The book’s north star, however, is Vonnegut’s deceptively straightforward narrative voice. It’s a voice that’s so alive, so full of humor, rage, honesty, sorrow, longing, and a madcap, punk-rock kind of joy, a joy of creation and freedom made more compelling and melancholic within the novel’s backdrop of WW2 atrocities.

Reading the book was a change-my-life event, the kind I continue to seek as a reader. I never dared think I could write something like SH5, but dammit, it made me want to try. It’s by far the book that I’ve reread and revisited the most. With idiocracy fascism on the rise, aided by tech bro oligarchs (a swarm of locusts devouring art and economies as well as water and land), we need to continue reading Vonnegut. His famous refrain within SH5 of 'So it goes' was not written as nihilistic despair, or worse, as lassitude and acceptance of the stripe the spineless among us who simper about AI’s use being inevitable. 'So it goes' is a call to art, a demand for peace, and a quintessentially human cry of dissent and unacceptance.

An appreciative nod also goes to the wonderful graphic novel adaptation by Ryan North and Albert Montey. I have a tattoo of one of their SH5 images!"
