![]() ![]() ![]() And that was just the start: in the weeks ahead, Clinton would host a fund-raiser for him at her Washington home, then return to Chicago to raise more money for his campaign. Clinton told Patti Solis Doyle, her closest political aide and the director of her political action committee, HillPAC, to provide Obama with the maximum allowable donation. Just the kind of candidate the party needed more of, the kind that she and Bill had long taken pride in cultivating and promoting. ![]() ![]() He was young, brainy, African American, a terrific speaker. The house was packed, Obama rocked it, and Hillary was impressed.These people know what they're doing, she said to her aides- then flew back east and gushed about Obama for days. Then she and Obama raced off to the W Hotel and spoke at a Democratic National Committee soiree for young professionals. For the next hour, Clinton worked the room, charming everyone she met, regaling them with funny yarns about the Senate. But she made it to the second, a dinner at the Arts Club of Chicago, where Barack and Michelle greeted her warmly, grateful for the effort that she'd expended to get there. By the time Clinton finally arrived in Chicago, she had missed the first fund-raiser. ![]()

We read about their trips to the grocery store, getting dinner ready for the kids, having their vacation sex, etc. What’s interesting about this book is how domestic it starts off. Both consider themselves liberal and watch Maddow. They have enough money for nice trips but not enough to buy the vacation home. Should Amanda and Clay trust this couple-and vice versa? What happened back in New York? Is the vacation home, isolated from civilization, a truly safe place for their families? And are they safe from one other?

It’s a supremely cathartic scene and the perfect end to Marin’s emotional journey. LaCour reminds the reader that every moment of life is filled with possibility and love. ![]() Marin, in the tight embrace of her best friend’s mother, finally has a sensory memory of her mother. Yes, this is a sad book but LaCour ends on a surprisingly hopeful note. If you haven’t read the book (and you really should) consider yourself warned. This is a small book densely packed with complicated people, feelings, unimaginable loss, heartbreak, and so much love. I couldn’t have cried through the last 40 pages of We Are Okay without LaCour’s precise and detailed sentence-level writing. Here though, LaCour’s ability to access and communicate so many raw and complicated feelings is extraordinary and so relevant to any discussion of this book. Critics, myself included, tend to separate heart from head in their professional reviews. When fiction pokes at pieces of your heart that you thought you had protected and hidden away, it requires strength and stamina to push through when all you actually want to do is bury the book at the bottom of your to-read pile.Īll of this is to say that I had a deeply emotional experience reading Nina LaCour’s novel. Not because it’s bad–in fact, it’s quite beautiful–but because reading it required a lot of emotional labor. Dutton Books for Young Readers, February 2017 ![]() ![]() Do you know what they are?

Over the past four decades, Forché’s work has grown to exemplify what she describes as “poetry of witness.” In her 1993 anthology Against Forgetting: Twentieth-Century Poetry of Witness, Forché argued against “personal” or “political” aims for poems, striving instead to present poets who persisted in writing under the most extreme social duress in conditions of war, exile and imprisonment. In the Lateness of the World is Carolyn Forché’s first collection of poems in seventeen years. ![]() |
