Nathan McCall

“Character displays "the weighty impatience of having to explain something that should already be understood.”
― Nathan McCall, Them

“Much later, when I thought about it, I realized that my folks were typical of their generation of parents: Their idea of raising children was making sure we were clothed, fed, and protected. They didn't focus much on us unless we were sick or had done something wrong. They didn't hold conversations with us. Love was understood rather than expressed, and values were transmitted by example, not word of mouth.”
― Nathan McCall, Makes Me Wanna Holler: A Young Black Man in America
