<img src="http://digitalstorage.journalism.cuny.edu/monica.melton/public_html/sandra_newman.jpg">
A local author has released a new book, with it comes a futuristic patois as the author describes it set in a dystopian world. The Country of the Ice Cream Star is gaining popularity internationally and locally. Brooklynite Sandra Newman delivers her seventh book and it has people talking.
An Excerpt:

The book is written in a "futuristic patois"
Newman on readability:

The language is influenced by African American vernacular English
Newman on appropriation:

Newman had some very specific reasons for wanting to write this book:

The Country of the Ice Cream Star as Newman see's it, is a departure from 21st century life when the protagonist takes on death itself.
