In Sunday's Sun: Maya Angelou

In Sunday's YOU/Arts & Entertainment section, you'll find a review of Maya Angelou's Letter to My Daughter: "These are the tales of a traveling life and what is learned on the way, and Angelou has quite literally been on the road, from Arkansas to Senegal. She's drunk coffee she thought peppered with insects ... withstood a death-defying beating from a suitor and worked hand-in-hand with Malcom X and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. in the civil rights movement. ... These pieces ... have the quality of oral history: raw and poetic and repetitive and earnest and painful and dramatic and funny."
Also, a roundup of crime fiction, including When Will There Be Good News by Kate Atkinson, Toros and Torsos by Craig McDonald, and The Serpent and the Scorpion by Clare Langley-Hawthorne.
