This world is where all the lies people have told go to and stay. “Lieland” feels like you are reading a fairytale and has reminded people of Alice in Wonderland.

Lieland focuses on the belief that we cannot run away from lies and that they will eventually,…

I embark on the long dark adventure of English 1A, I resemble Alice from Wonderland, descending down the proverbial rabbit hole. Senses rally like a whirlwind, frantically grasping in midair for clues that could enlighten the subject. Deeper down the tunnel of Critical Reading, Critical Thinking, and Critical Writing. What can it all signify, it appears to be ambiguous. Furthermore, mind faltering, I hesitate to determine what this could all mean. Bam! I hit the bottom of the tunnel, high…

In this stunning memoir, Rosemary Bray describes growing up poor in Chicago in the 1960s and becoming one of the first black women at Yale--and she shows why changes in the welfare system make it virtually impossible for her inspiring story to happen today.

Living surrounded by fear and rage is like that…
