Monday Media Review *still* ended up diving into history, but for good reason:

I can't talk about American Fiction without talking about how old and storied the conversation is about Black representation in film and lit. So today we touch on Hughes, Wright, and Baldwin, look at TV and film around Spike Lee, and reflect on Everett's novel.

The bitter irony is that American Fiction, a story about untold stories, *also* holds back.

It's up to us to refuse the binary.
