The amazing thing about books is how they have lives of their own. Writers think they know their business when they sit down to compose a new work, and I suppose they do, right up to the moment when the last piece of punctuation gets planted on the final sentence. More often than not, that punctuation is a period. It should be a question mark, though, because what occurs from then on is anybody's guess.

Oh oh oh you'll get a kick out of this but I found a bunch of family-name-heraldry-and-motto things on holiday and the Foster one? 'Strong Though Broken'. (Yes I did buy the little family crest pin, bc I'm trash) - Nathan

I'm going to start crying thinking of little baby Arthur going through his father's stuff, because Libby wants to throw them out, only to find this rattling tiny tin box hidden somewhere in his clothes. He can't get it to open, the lid is on too tight, but he can hear something rattling in there, and he wants it, so he keeps the tin box and brings it with him when he runs away, and tasks Esther to keep it safe for him for a little while until, finally, the war ends and he goes home a whole man yet still half the man he was, and Esther gives him his little tin box back, and he hangs on to it, out of habit, completely forgetting to open it.

Until one day, when he really fucking needs it, he pries the thing open with his blunt finger nails and in it, like a ghost, like a message from above, like a reminder of his past, and a herald to a Future, is the Foster family crest pin that Thomas had stolen off his old man's drawers in hopes of pawning it off but never could quite do so; battered and dented, but still winking up at him with a tiny banner around its bottom: Strong Though Broken.

Rethinking Rufus

A friend and colleague recently loaned me Thomas A. Foster’s Rethinking Rufus: Sexual Violations of Enslaved Men. The first monograph to tackle the difficult issue of sexual violence against enslaved men in the United States, it is an important study. It is also chilling and horrific, bringing a deeper and different kind of understanding to the evil that was slavery.

Foster is a historian and…
