Love, 1st post

Love was enjoyable and easy to read, but I was halfway through the book before I figured out the characters and their relationships to each other. Even then, some of the musings were lost on me, particularly those of L.
Maybe Morrison's "is" was the fact that Cosey had developed this fine resort for blacks because due to segegration, there weren't nice places like that for them to go. There was nothing wrong with that "in and of itself". Cosey helped the needy and did good works and had been built up as a saint.
The rest of the "is" was that Cosey, his staff, and the people who frequented the resort, segregated themselves from the rest of the community because they thought they were better. The "should be" was that the resort should have been helping the whole community, not just catering to the wealthy blacks from outside the community.
