I want to talk about the book, The Barn.

The scope of it is really remarkable.

So you grew up 23 miles away from the barn where Mitt Till was murdered, as you referenced a couple minutes ago.

The book is about basically the 36 square miles around the barn.

When I got it, I was kind of like, okay, that's a fun conceit.

I'm going to learn about the civil rights and the Delta, which is what I wanted to learn about, which is why I got it.

And, you know, then you get to chapter four or something.

All of a sudden you're talking about the Indians and since 1400 or some shit.

Like, I mean, you really go far back to talk about just this little plot of land and how it got us to Emmett Till and how it got us to now.

So talk about why you did it like that in the conceit of the book.

Everybody that's growing up around the Mattel barn is growing up in a declining environment.

power center, right?
