Quote from this book "The attic was my one refuge. There, among near-forgotten clothes and furniture, I was free to be whatever I wanted. No script had been prepared for me, no one would become embarrassed when I mangled my lines, and most importantly, no one waited to correct me. In this very special place, far away from my family and those who might be called friends, an eleven-year-old boy with a too-large head and too-thin arms played at creation. Washed only in the faint glow of the solitary bulb above the staircase and whatever light managed to come through the grimy windows, I looked for a truer vision of myself in my parents' collection of dusty, yellowing photographs. In that wonderfully secluded spot, I found bits of my lost self in each face and frozen attitude which had been laid rest there. Desperate to be valued and cared for, I breathed new life into manly wool coats and tattered wafer-thin dresses fired my imagination with the words and rhythms of black folks doing what they had to do in other, more exciting times than my own." opening paragraphs of "The Jazz Singer" by Charles Henry Fuller Secondhand booksellers |
