When Toni Morrison said the grandeur of life is the attempt, not the solution… And how she went on to explain that it’s about behaving as beautifully as one can under completely impossible circumstances. The power that has, you know? It’s really just the making room for what breathes in the presence of the attempt. In the coming-to-be.

"I'd been reading James W. Lowen's Sundown Towns, a history of whites-only communities in America, and it was from Lowen that I learned about Hugo Green's Negro Motorist Green Book, the real-life Safe Negro Travel Guide. I decided to make my lead character a field researcher for a Jim Crow-era guidebook, someone whose job was to drive around the country, looking for hotels and restaurants that would serve him. I also decided to make him a pulp-fiction fan —someone who, if he saw a flying saucer setting down in a field, would be intrigued rather than frightened. But the real reason he'd keep running into monsters was because he was black, and when you're black in America, there's always a monster. Sometimes it's Lovecraftian Elder Gods; sometimes it's the police or the Klan, or the Registrar of Voters."
