This week, as part of their joint-series on resistance literature, Literary Hub and Critical Mass, the National Book Critics Circle’s blog, are both running a short essay I wrote about Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. Jonathan Lethem began the series with reflections on Philip K. Dick’s The Penultimate Truth. Other essays have appeared by T.J. Stiles, Meg Waite Clayton, and today, Sarah K. Stephens.
