[Magdalen] Enjoying a colleague's accent

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

This reminds me of a short story I heard read on NPR a few years ago.

It's called "The Appropriation of Culture" by Percival Everett, and it is
[truly!] A Pearl Of Great Price.

I found it is in a collection "Damned if I do" [I think, check it at
abebooks.com]

However, I just found a clip of it.  It's a great job.  Listen to this
masterpiece.  Maybe it will make you laugh. I hope so.  Maybe it will make
you cry a little. I hope so.  Maybe it will change your life.  We live in
hope.

God doesn't make tragedies happen, but She can inspire us to make good come
out of the most horrible events.
