Olympia Vernon is another one of my favorite authors. I've heard people compare her to Toni Morrison but I really don't see the connection or maybe I'm not looking for it. To me, her writing style is very different but to read her novels wi...ll take time, they are not breezy reads - you must think while reading (maybe that is the resemblance between she and Morrison). Olympia is very abstract and detailed when it comes to the human experience and how our bodies portray andbetray us. I love how she described a throat like a glass vase . . . All the while you're wondering about this vase and it's really someone's throat.
