Maurice is great. He did a reading at Lemuria Books here in Jackson, and was so generous with his time and insights. I loved We Cast a Shadow and look forward to reading his latest!

He is just a light and a joy! He did The Stacks back in 2019 when WCAS came out and I just fell in love with his energy and thinking. Swoon. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-short-stacks-25-maurice-carlos-ruffin-we-cast-a-shadow/id1362164483?i=1000455896594

Yes! It was also a book club pick so we did a whole episode on the book, too! Lots of Maurice related content.

Omg! I could not read this fast enough!!! He is one of the main headliners I went to NOLA Book Fest for. His session was so good and the new book has so much to unpack. I need to reread it!
