"The forces interested in fascist solutions to national problems are not to be found in one political party or another, or in one or another wing of any single political party.

... the genius of fascism is that any political structure can host the virus and virtually any developed country can become a suitable home. Fascism talks ideology, but it is really just marketing — marketing for power."

#ToniMorrison, 1995

“Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another.”

Dear #PublicDiary I have been reading #ToniMorrison Sula and I feel the need to be writing.
I have a commented edition with interviews and she describes her writing process.

Interestingly I can relate to a style of just writing scenes, a last sentence and then stiching it together. And yes it would be work, and I am afraid I might fail. But also I would love to read that book that only I could write.
