In a book titled for this stuff, the author muses “What will happen to all that beauty?” Zora Neale Hurston’s story “Sweat” was (10[1])first published in the sole issue (10[2])of a literary magazine named (10[1])for this (10[1])stuff (10[2])and two exclamation marks. (10[1])Jesmyn Ward named (10[1])a 2016 (10[1])anthology (10[2])in homage (-5[1])to a book titled for this stuff, whose author recounts that “a prolonged religious crisis” during the summer he turned 14 led him to become (10[1])a preacher. (10[2])The epistolary (10[1])form (10[1])of that book titled for this stuff inspired Ta-Nehisi (10[1])(“TAH nuh-HAH-see”) Coates’s book Between the World and Me.
