My cover story on William Napier.And my Pith addendum on Solomon Napier.
I’m also hoping I have time to go to the TSLA and investigate a little further into the attacks on Elias Napier. He mentions one in his will and I saw that there was some court case over another. I’m curious about that.
I found, and still find, Solomon’s story deeply, viscerally upsetting. Trick of the imagination or the past pressing too close, but when I think of him, especially of him coming back to Nashville, the last place he knew to look for his mother, I feel this sadness on her behalf that overwhelms me.
As if her sorrow is still soaked in the streets, just waiting for someone to know of it so that it can come up into a body and work itself out.
And since I know of it, it works through me.
