Notable Works
Bliss Broyand Quotes
"Was my father's choice rooted in self-preservation or in self-hatred? Did it strike a blow for individualism or for discrimination? Was he a hero or a cad?" Those are good questions, and as Bliss Broyard well understands, they can never be definitively answered, though my own hunch is that "All of the above" gets somewhere close to the truth." — Amazon.com
One Drop Reviews
"Broyard is marvelously uncensorious and unjudgmental - although perfectly adept at carefully thought-out judgment - and so presents her readers with a rich mosaic spotlighting varieties of contemporary African American experience. — San Francisco Chronicle
