Tayari's Blog: American Violet

I plan to go see American Violet this weekend. The trailer was so riveting that the hair stood up on my arms. There is first class talent in this film. And the issue of the prison industrial complex is one of the most serious ones facing this country.

Now, Ms. Jones, you KNOW I'm going to see this. On another note, Alfre Woodard is wonderful in every movie that I see her in. Thanks for spreading the word about this movie. I will be doing the same in short order.

Hey Tayari, girl, can I say girl?

I'm currently reading the The Untelling; just got to the part where Dwayne is going to meet her mother for real this time. LOL at the repo man trying to get Head Cheese's Jetta. I'm Enjoying the book.

Cheers,
