In Black Madness :: Mad Blackness Therí Alyce Pickens rethinks the relationship between Blackness and disability, unsettling the common theorization that they are mutually constitutive. Pickens shows how Black speculative and science fiction authors such as Octavia Butler, Nalo Hopkinson, and Tananarive Due craft new worlds that reimagine the intersection of Blackness and madness. These creative writer-theorists formulate new parameters for thinking through Blackness and madness. Pickens considers Butler's Fledgling as an archive of Black madness that demonstrates how race and ability shape subjectivity while constructing the building blocks for antiracist and anti-ableist futures. She examines how Hopkinson's Midnight Robber theorizes mad Blackness and how Due's African Immortals series contests dominant definitions of the human. The theorizations of race and disability that emerge from these works, Pickens demonstrates, challenge the paradigms of subjectivity that white supremacy and ableism enforce, thereby pointing to the potential for new forms of radical politics.
Difficult themes reflecting the frailty of the human condition, such as suicide, alcoholism, insanity and incest, are explored with rare sensitivity in Bob Kostoff's second novel. Garth Vasoff, a wealthy New York City businessmen, visits Niagara Falls, New York, drops in at a friendly neighborhood tavern and gets hooked by the vivacious owner, Martie McGurk. She is separated from her crazy husband who has abused their pre-teen daughter. The range of characters who frequent McGurk's Tavern become involved in crime, drunk driving, mayhem and suicide. They may seem to be miscreants, but are family with the tavern as their only "home." The stunning conclusion alone makes this novel a must read.
