Hi- I just read your comments on The Intuitionist: By Colson Whitehead. I completely agree. I just finished reading, Apex Hides the Hurt, also by Whitehead. Have you read that? I picked up John Henry Days, but have not yet got into it. Have you read any works by Caryl Phillips (the novelist, not the poet) I read many of his? A Distant Shore immediately comes to mind. His approach to addressing issues of race and race relations is quite beautiful. Looking at the other novels you have read, I think his writing might impress you.Joe
I really enjoy your shelf and your thoughtful comments. We have a lot of books in common. Guess I'll have to dig into some Faulkner!
Hi and thanks for the recommendation. I'll start with The Intuitionist, then. He's someone I've been meaning to read for years now, and I've been reading some really strong reviews around here lately, which makes it all a bit more urgent.
Just read you r review of The Bluest Eye and couldn't agree more. Wouldn't the reading world be such a better place if everyone's first novel were so powerful. Browsing your shelf, I see you give high marks to Colson Whitehead. Any recommendation about which of his books to read first?cheers,afton
You're a bastard! How did you add all these books? Did you REALLY read all these.
hooray hooray hooray!
