Abstract

The protagonist of his equally offbeat--and even more daringly radical--Amazon dark comedy I'm a Virgo is a 13-ft.-tall Black teenager named Cootie, portrayed with gentle-giant naiveté by When They See Us standout Jharrel Jerome. Tall tales aside, he literally towers over our national landscape in the form of flannel-clad roadside statues scattered from coast to coast--monuments to the rugged workingmen of an ascendant nation. Within the pantheon of American folk heroes, no figure walks taller than Paul Bunyan. [Extracted from the article]
