012. Imitating Life - Race, Identity, & Being Weird
Manage episode 388504672 series 3435863
Childhood often asks more questions than it answers. Who am I? What am I? Some of us struggle to find clarity. In this episode, Jim reads from an autobiographical short story, “Imitating Life.” Marcos and he discuss the significance of race and identity growing up as an inner-city, "light-skinned" minority. The story was published in 2014 in SNReview. Read rewrite here.
