MCAG Presents... the MONGREL DREAM LIBRARY
Happy to bookend my posts with another message from the Mongrel Coalition Against Gringpo:
Some of these books have been published under different titles, but we understand it's hard to read anything conjured by the misshapen brains of POC. This is why we’ve decided to celebrate a longstanding Western literary tradition by starting a series of books with accessible titles that are reformulations of great “unknown” critical works, thereby making them more digestible and white-friendly.
