ten years on from the election of barack 0bama, what progress does author and academic t geronimojohnsonrica has made in the realms of race relations? he says too many of us have stood idly by while america is being run roughshod by conservative racists. in his breakthrough novel, welcome to braggsville, t geronimojohnson details the life of a young white boy from braggsville, georgia, who wins a place at the prestigious berkeley university in california. the novel explores the complexities of race, identity and class, be it in the liberal elite in berkeley or in the traditions of the deep south. applause. t geronimojohnson, a very warm welcome to talking books. thank you. you have been compared to some extremely fine authors — mark twain, toni morrison, tom wolfe — and i wonder if that's because you have got the capacity to put a magnifying glass up to american life, with all its foibles, and chronicle it in a very acute way, but also a way that makes us laugh, too. right, i think that may definitely have something to do with it, that's definitely what moves me about a few of the writer

the thing that i find fascinating is that there were so many other presidents, barack 0bama giving ay of unity across the political divide. in opposition and john mccain's daughter, giving a very moving eulogy that moved on from just the morning to the morning of the whole country and what she put was the death of the sense of politics in the sense of fair play that she loved about america. i think what was fascinating, particularly because it was at washington cathedral, it's the episcopalian, the equivalent of the church of england, the sense that there is the establishment, the elite, gathering together and in real shock, i felt, what elite, gathering together and in real shock, ifelt, what was really moving wasn't just the real shock, ifelt, what was really moving wasn'tjust the particular individual but the shock of the soul group of people, democrats, republicans, gathering together in shock at their country but also disbelief that their country could have been so dusty dasher seduced by populism and seduced by this particular president. it's a really interesting reflection of
