ClareR (5726 KP) rated Zami: A New Spelling of My Name in Books

Jul 26, 2020

This is a snapshot in time from Audre Lorde’s childhood to young adulthood. She is born to immigrant Caribbean parents, and grows up in New York City. She leaves home to forge her own path at a young age, and lives in Mexico for a while during the McCarthy era. Throughout the book, she learns to love herself and accept her lesbianism. This book tells us what it was like to be a lesbian in the 1950s and more so, what it was like to be a black lesbian. It shows how Audre worked hard for everything, from working to provide for herself, to studying. She was fiercely independent, and even in hard times she doesn’t fall back on her parents.

This book is a real snapshot in time, and I loved reading it. This is such a readable memoir. I really enjoyed the pieces of poetry that she has added to the prose that she wrote around that time too.

Definitely a book worth reading.

Whatever It Takes

Man on Fire- is a excellent action thriller, that I have seen about 5-7 times. Its a really great movie, not sure why critics didnt like this movie. Cause Denzel is excellent, Dakota is excellent. The action, suspense and drama is excellent. Its only downfall is its slow for the 1st half, than picks up during the 2nd half.

The plot: In a Mexico City wracked by a recent wave of kidnappings, ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) reluctantly accepts a job as a bodyguard for 9-year-old Lupita (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of wealthy businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony). Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman (Jesús Ochoa) kidnaps her. Now, Creasy must pick off a succession of corrupt cops and criminals to reach his ultimate object of vengeance.

Its a vengeanful film. Packed with action, suspense and drama.
