>Oh, so much to catch up on here and an editorial to finish to boot. In the meantime, check out two essays by Friends of the Horn Book: Boston Globe-Horn Book judge Julie Just writes about parents in YA books for the NYTBR and Zetta Elliott, whose “Decolonizing the Imagination” appeared in the March/April issue, considers “blackness and borders” over on her blog, Fledgling.
Back to the editorial. Paying heed to the Horn Book’s legendary fact-checking, I now have to go watch Working Girl to make sure I have a quote right.
About Roger Sutton
>Roger, I admire your professionalism.
>Wow, I forgot what a great movie that was–so carefully constructed and with wonderful performances by everybody. I hope to use "I've got a mind made for business and a bod made for sin" sometime today in a conversation.
>I was wondering what quote you were going to use. I have a few favorites from that film. Sigourney Weaver, with a broken leg, getting off a helicopter high on some painkiller and saying "Let's all have one, shall we?" Or the famous "$6,000? It's not even leathah!" Or "Trask? The same Trask who said 'what if we sliced the bread before we sold it?'"
I didn't realize how well I knew this movie.
