THE ONES WHO DON'T SAY THE LOVE YOU by Maurice Carlos Ruffin
On the day of its highly anticipated release, THE ONES WHO DON'T SAY THE LOVE YOU, Maurice Carlos Ruffin's sophomore work, was reviewed in the New York Times. They reviewer writes: "Ruffin writes with the clipped motion of the best comic books, and the unsparing tenderness of a poet. Readers enamored with the relentless lyricism of his novel may be surprised to find a gentler voice guiding these stories, without judgment. This softness is exactly what binds these patchwork chronicles into a vibrant and true mosaic of a place.” Ruffin also sat down for an interview with Entertainment Weekly, where he discussed his writing and love for his hometown New Orleans, Louisiana. One World published the book August 17, 2021.
