Bonnie understands this, so she does what she wants.

The novel didn't do well.

Janine laughs.

Define well.

They proved my point about respectability.

The interviewer says, not many people liked Bonnie.

That was maybe the biggest critique of the novel, her character.

Janine laughs a throaty laugh.

I could almost see her anger in the wet pink of her gums.

You think Bonnie cares?

I doubt it.

You rarely see Black women like Bonnie in literature, but we exist.

We're all over.

You're a teacher now.

What do you tell your students?

Janine pauses to smoke.

Every writer has that project.
