“Sky Full of Elephants,” simply mesmerizing — and real…Part 1
“Change is coming — and memory will ALWAYS prevail.” Queen Vivienne
When my Daughter, @Laura M. Quainoo wrote about this book, I KNEW I needed to read this shit (Well, I had to LISTEN to the Mofo, cuz I’m old and my eyesight’s f*ckin’ failin’! — so I DID!!).
Baby, please!!! Young Mr. Campell’s storytelling HUMBLES me — much like that of Mr. James Baldwin. I’m not surprised though, because some of our children GOT what “my friend Jimmy” was trying to say!
At the end, I didn’t quite get Sydney’s journey back to the water at first, particularly given it’d held so many sorrowful memories and had also rejected her. But later, I saw it as she’d learned that she was, in fact, after all, “ALL OF US — and, FREE.”
Am I wrong? Lemme know in the comments, PLS…
