Welcome to the CodeX Cantina where our mission is to get more people talking about books! Let's talk about "Sonny's Blues" by James Baldwin today. The tone is filled with dread and fear and features family trauma, suffering, finding oneself, validation. We have some wonderful usage of call and response with listening and being heard. We also need to talk about the cup of trembling and turning suffering into music. But we have to follow an Algebra teacher... ewww! Just kidding, let's talk about a masterpiece of literature.
