I’ve digressed from my usual reading diet—i.e., African American history & fiction— into U.S. intelligence internationally & domestically, but the book #TheManNobodyKilled was heartbreaking & nostalgic for anyone who came of age during the yrs following when the events described happened #Basquiat

The Cops Thrashed Him. Madonna, Spike Lee and Toni Morrison Took Notice. Elon Green’s telling of the life and death of the artist Michael Stewart is filled with heartbreaking echoes of the present.

big ups to @elongreen.bsky.social on this mighty fine review in yesterday's @nytbookreview.bsky.social ... "grimly vivid"... "swift"... "unsparing"... that's good, right?...
