I write about Art, Culture, and Race in The Jazprose Diaries on Substack. My short stories are there too in The Fiction Fix. Read me, Seymour, read me.
If only there were a few Republicans in the US Senate with cojones like this. Former US Attorney Hagan Scotten is a Republican with a JD from Harvard. He held the rank of captain in the Special Forces during the Iraq War.

‘Greek Lessons’ by recent Nobel laureate Han Kang helped me get through election night. It’s a beautiful novel about the need for connection amidst great loss, as the main characters contend with key concepts of Ancient Greek philosophy in a South Korean classroom. I loved this book! 💙📚

Often we look at African American history as an ancillary story. But America’s core values of spirituality, resilience & optimism are the African American story. I want people to understand that this is their story regardless of who they are—Lonnie Bunch @NMAAHC

Jazprose Art Drop—Andy Warhol

Would You Pay $195 Million for an Andy Warhol? In 2022, somebody did just that. But why? There's a reason the bad boy of Pop Art is still important and still a rock star.
