I met with Andre Alexis to discuss\\xa0his novella,\\xa0A\\xa0(BookThug, 2013). During our conversation we hit, among other things, on literary criticism, book reviewing, \'Good\' and \'Baddeley\' literary critics, and David Gilmour and his GG Award winning novel\\xa0A Perfect Night to go to China, and Alexis\'s contention that\\xa0racism is contained in the chapter in this novel entitled \\u201cThe Pigeon\\u201d. \\xa0

Please note that, as a condition of making the recording of this conversation public, Alexis\'s\\xa0essay entitled \\u201cOf a Smallness in the Soul\\u201d is being made readily available (as it is right here) to visitors to this web page...and\\xa0that the point is being made, clearly, that this essay is Alexis\'s argument for (or demonstration of) the racism contained in ...David Gilmour\\u2019s chapter entitled \\u201cThe Pigeon\\u201d, from his novel,\\xa0The Perfect Order of Things."
