That drives me nuts. Or having to scroll around the map to find the random spot where the name is displayed. If I zoom in, just give me all the street names for streets I can see.

I feel a bit of irritation at this story. I’m a black guy who has a white niece and a white nephew who are both the grandchildren of a black man and descendants of slaves.

Oh the FRANZEN thing! I can talk about serious author douchebaggery all day.

Baba! How have you been? I think of you often. We don’t see enough of you around these parts

I’m not sure how familiar you are with Dessen’s work if you’re arguing that Stephanie Perkins is writing more nuanced, deeper stuff than her. I’m not a huge Dessen fan, but she’s tackled a number of heavier issues in her books—domestic violence, sexual assault, eating disorders, teen pregnancy—often with plenty of…
