Red Bag(s)
The red grocery bag is something I've only seen in Queens at the
moment. You can find at least two people walking with their bright
red grocery bags in hand at any time of the day in my neigborhood.
There's like 4-6 supermarkets within a 4-block radius of where I'm
currently residing at. It allows me to go out and pick up anything I
need at the drop of a hat, as well as compare prices between each
store when I'm feeling thrifty. The best thing about it that i find
extremely useful because I don't care to stock up on food so much, and
I love the act of buying and cooking something at the same day. To
top it all off, the damn produce is still really cheap! I've been
eating a rather steady diet of peaches, bananas, bokchoy, chinese
broccolli, squash, carrots, etc. Hurray for local (ASIAN) markets.
The only thing I find lacking is a good brand of Yogurt and granola.
I'm eventually going to start having to buy them from Amazon.
Book Review: Victor LaValle's Big Machine
Big Machine is a new novel by Victor LaValle, which portrays a world framed by conspiracy, intrigue and double-dealing. This is the third book by Mr. LaValle. The book has been drawing comparisons to the work of Ralph Ellison and Thomas Pynchon. Mr. LaValle’s first work, Slapboxing with Jesus, was a collection of linked coming-of-age stories set in Queens, which won a Pen Open Book Award, and was published in 1999. "Big Machine" faces major hurdles in finding a broad audience. Mr. Jackson says that it has always been difficult to market black literary fiction. "Black writers don’t have a support network that helps them publish their short stories, and the encouragement they get is often for familiar material," he says, as quoted in an article in The Wall Street Journal. Mr. LaValle's three obsessions are mental illness, horror and religion. Mr. LaValle’s 2002 autobiographical debut novel, The Ecstatic, featured Anthony James, first introduced in "Slapboxing With Jesus" as a 315-pound college drop-out with mental illness whose family members try to restore him to normalcy. Mr. LaValle says that the people he is most interested in are the ones on the edge of losing everything and falling into the last bit of despair.
