![]() ![]() ![]() It is an achingly sad story about moving on, and though I preferred Miakge’s story this one was also lovely in its sadness. In just 40 pages Banana Yoshimoto explores teenage love, and once again, the different ways we each deal with grief. The second tale, which occupies the third part of the book is ‘Moonlight Shadow’. The story explores the nature of loneliness, the pain of grief, and the gentle healing of companionship. ![]() The first tale, which unfolds across Part 1 ‘Kitchen’ and Part 2 ‘Full Moon’ deals with the grief of Mikage after the death of her grandmother, and the family of mother and son who take her in. It has the depth and character development of a much longer novel, which was a surprise to me. Usually I would call this a novella, but there is something about the narrative that, despite its word count, feels whole. There are three parts to this tiny 160 page book, and 2 distinct stories. A haunting, beautiful little novel about grief, loneliness, and the solace we find in others. ![]() ![]() ![]() Throughout, race is a powerful touchstone: just as there have always been Black audiences and white audiences, with more or less overlap depending on the moment, there has been Black music and white music, constantly mixing and separating. Sanneh shows how these genres have been defined by the tension between mainstream and outsider, between authenticity and phoniness, between good and bad, right and wrong. He explains the history of slow jams, the genius of Shania Twain, and why rappers are always getting in trouble. In Major Labels, Sanneh distills a career’s worth of knowledge about music and musicians into a brilliant and omnivorous reckoning with popular music-as an art form (actually, a bunch of art forms), as a cultural and economic force, and as a tool that we use to build our identities. Kelefa Sanneh, one of the essential voices of our time on music and culture, has made a deep study of how popular music unites and divides us, charting the way genres become communities. ![]() ![]() ![]() Here is Henry Holt & Company’s statement: Holt had previously said “the company fully stand(s) behind Bill O’Reilly” and that “This one passage is immaterial to the story being told by this terrific book, and we have no plans to look into this matter. ![]() ![]() In his 1993 memoir, The Last Investigation, Gaeton Fonzi mentioned those phone conversations on the night of the suicide, describing O’Reilly as a “friend.” CNN recently obtained a high-quality recording from Fonzi’s widow and featured it on-air, including the person who identified himself as O’Reilly saying, “I’m coming down there tomorrow” and “I’m coming to Florida,” after de Mohrenschildt’s suicide.
