I finished Roots in one go(disappointing K who had recommended other books). But a little disappointed that it may not be an entirely true account. Do we have a firsthand account of slave owners also?
RR left finally and it was an emotional farewell - he tried speaking and thanking people multiple times but broke down each time and his friends tried unsuccessfully. I don't understand the bond between us - I came to know him only two years ago but then since last year, I think there wasn't a week in which he didn't come and sit and talk for at least half an hour. We talked only about workplace and never about our personal lives and when he resigned, he said I was the first person in the office to know about it. As I said, it hasn't sunk in yet that he's not going to be around.
Work is all-pervading. All days are Sundays now.
