Marginalia #31 and Musicalia #26

I’ve been reading Baldwin off and on since high school and at some point I need to read through the bibliography. Baldwin has a fabulous way of weaving social commentary into emotional narratives with indelible characters. Not perfect, but well worth a reread. And like much of Baldwin’s work, it has some glorious and devastating sentences.

The only girl-in-prison, all-women pirate gang, kung fu blaxploitation film I’ve ever seen. I think that tells you enough as far as if you want to check this out yourself. Gloriously hammy and fun.

You can check out a new playlist over at Tidal: McClurg’s Musicalia #26: A lonely planet in the velvety folds of space.
