How literary fiction allows the discussion of the Taboo: a comparison of the way the N-word is discussed in fiction - Chapters 13 & 14 of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Americana (2013) and more factual writing - "The Taboo Word" from Paul Theroux's travelogue Deep South 2015).
Also a discussion of memory and the interconnected nature of the arts based on a reading of Anne Michael's poem "Lake of Two Rivers" from
The Weight of Oranges (1997).
