  4. Memoirs of a Superfan, Vol. 8.5: I Remember Midnight

    Posted March 20th, 2013 by conorrabinovitz in CAAMFest 2013, Memoirs of a Superfan

      Even before Erika Menendez allegedly pushed Sunando Sen to his death in the New York Subway in December, 2012, I have avoided the platform edge.  I’ve been aware of the aggression of a segment of America, meting out hateful “retaliation” for 9-11.  Brown skin might as well have been tattooed with the target symbol, targeted by fearful-angry-judgmental […]
