I reviewed Vince Staples' latest album for Exclaim! I really enjoyed it, but it was way too short. Interestingly, I made Wikipedia for the second time now based off my comments. So that's neat.

And though this is what initially drew me to the novel - the neat factor - it is the writing and … Continue reading Review of “The Very Marrow of our Bones”
