Tak! quoted The Sleeping Car Porter by Suzette Mayr
When a mudslide strands a train, Baxter, a queer Black sleeping car porter, must contend …
Standing next to his step box, Baxter hovers: immobile and elastic, ready to spring forward to lift a suitcase, dissect a timetable, point to the conductor, nod, lift more suitcases, now hat boxes, answer more questions, and nod, nod, nod.
