Blacks writing is cultural appropriation and I will not validate them by reading.

Anyone here ever read The Spook Who Sat by the Door? I just picked it up at the thrift store

I have that Liberia book. Bought it on a whim to complete my African colonial section of my history collection.

Excuse me they're called people of color nowadays

It's about a black spy :^)

I'm a stone's throw from being a Nazi, but I really enjoy Malcolm X and reading about the insane origins of the Nation of Islam and Wallace Fard. Is Malcom's autobiography any good? It's not actually an autobiography, is it?

I wonder what he would've become had he lived to old age.

toni morrison is the only black author i've read so her. i actually really like her writing too.

Samuel R. Delaney's weird literary pulp is some of the best genre fiction out there.

which one's did you like?
i read the bluest eye recently and really wanted to like it but just couldn't. I heard it described as having very sensory language which sounded good but the prose felt incredibly dry to me. The only thing I liked about it was the structure really. I also noticed it's her first novel and a good 17 years before beloved, so maybe it's just not heard best work, or maybe it's just not for me

Machado de Assis of course

>>25114504
Chinua Achebe. Things Fall Apart is what usually gets assigned in undergrad literature courses, but the rest of the African Trilogy is pretty good too

>>25114504
Thomas sowell and basically no other nigger comes close.

This. Also Ellison, Wright and Baldwin and almost anything by Percival Everett.

Octavia Butler and Ngugi wa Thiong'o. RIP

My favorites are probably Wild Seed and A Grain of Wheat respectively though I haven't read all their books

Thomas Sowell is good. Fredrick Douglass is also good.
