I committed a crime.I bought a hard copy of The Disappearers by Marlon James several weeks ago. It was published on September 1. I wait and wait, consider buying the ebook, but that would be silly as I want to celebrate, experience, pore over this physical tome.

My father knew how to take apart an entire motor vehicle. I think he might have enjoyed dismantling a 747 since he loved planes, boats, and cars and used them as often as possible.
