That story by this author begins in a doctor's waiting room, where an acne-ridden Wellesley student throws her book Human Development at the protagonist and tells her "Go back to hell where you came from, you old wart hog." In addition to writing that story about Ruby Turpin's title epiphany, this author wrote a story in which a middle-aged white woman attempts to give a black child a penny, only for that child's mother to knock her to the ground with her pocketbook.
