#ERGOBKCLUB A2:“Something that I can’t ever know about her” makes me think children can never really know the inner lives of their parents. For her, it remains unknown, dangerous even, like the edge of the world, pieces breaking off with her leaving #EdgeoftheWorld@ERGOOntario
#ERGOBKCLUB A2: Like the music, laughter is an escape, survival even, from the loneliness of daily living in an unfamiliar country. It is a homecoming of sorts through the shared experience of laughter, music and Randy Travis love #RandyTravis@ERGOOntario
#ERGOBKCLUB A2: This story shows the challenges immigrant parents and children face in navigating acts of everyday racism that bring shame, embarrassment and eventually denial of home culture embodied in her name and the person of her mother #URsoembarrassing@ERGOOntario
#ERGOBKCLUB A1: The narrator remains nameless except as “mother” giving her anonymity as an observer of a life otherwise denied to her. Being a “mother” in name only defines (and limits) her past and present self through knowing great sadness #URsoembarrassing@ERGOOntario
#ERGOBKCLUB A1: While speaking her truth about hope being a terrible thing, I feel it was yet another “knockout” for Raymond, reinforcing the feelings he had in the ring that he didn’t (or couldn’t) ever measure up #ManiPedi@ERGOontario
#Ergobkclub A1: I was struck by the title and the power of those words to both delight and protect her (and maybe even her father) in the face of intrusion #chickachee@ergoontario
