Deacon King Kong was the selection and conversation for a virtual book club with author James Mcbride. His communication is similar to his writing style very clear. It was insightful and informative. He touched base on his background, the book/characters and some realities of life. There is so much depth to this author. I felt enlightened and glad this book was chosen to read. There's a connection amongst the characters, the writer and reader.
James Mcbride mentioned this quote below when it comes to writing:
"When there is judgment there is no journey
When there is no journey there is no story"
His character, communication, talents and writing is greatly appreciated. I shared a video below to introduce and learn more about James Mcbride.

Williams with Jon Sternfeld. I read the book in two days as I was intrigued by the lifestyle of Michael K. Williams, with depth and descriptive form of storytelling. The book takes you on a journey through highlights and harsh realities. I enjoyed watching Michael K Williams on television series Law and Order , the Wire, Black Market and after reading this book I learned more about the human experience, the black experience, thoughtfulness and grew even more appreciation for his character both on and off camera. Thank you for creating a body of work and being an open book. We have a see the world th
