    Just wanted to welcome you to the Best English-Language Fiction of the Twentieth Century group – the name rolls right off the tongue doesn’t it…
    Feel free join in with any of the discussions already on the board or start up a new one any time you like.
    Again, glad you joined up and I look forward to picking at the threads with you.
    See you around the shelves.

    Hi Tim ! I just ran across your group Scholar's Circle, and that led me to look at your website. You seem to be doing some great work, and the discussion posts in your group seem very interesting. I wish you the courage to keep it up; I know this website is not an easy place to get a sustained interaction going, but perseverance often pays off.

    Hey Tim! Nigger Heaven is written by a white author during the time of the Harlem Renaissance. It's a novel about Harlem during that time, displaying black life in full view. Of course, it was quite controversial for the title alone and W.E.B. DuBois blasted the book. I still wanted to have a copy of the book and read it as I seek to understand why white people have such a strong attraction to black culture.

    Thanks for the insight. Completely agree about bigger problems, but, not having grown up with nigger as a part of my cultural background, I'm really interested in what the book has to say about the generational gap in perception. Kind of similar to how a person is able to swear in a different language even if they don't use swear words in their own language because they just don't get the full impact of words that they don't know the power behind. Being a language person, semantics isjust a huge interest of mine.

    Thanks for the recommendation on Nigger. As a teacher in a lower socio-economic school, I hear the word bantied around quite a bit, and, as I said, it was addressed in my linguistics class. Curious, did reading it change any opinions you have on the usage of the word? Do you ever use the word in poetry or when addressing friends? Being younger and white and from a very not diverse town in MI, I've never really run into the word being used other than the fact that I never would feel comfortable saying or using it, yet one hears it used in music at times. Thanks for any insight.

    The Boy

    The African vulture stands in wait
    It has no time to fly
    The Darfurian boy crouches
    With his head between his knees
    He closes his eyes and whispers to his ancestors
    That if his end must come now
    Let it be from a diseased mosquito or starvation
    Anything else but the death delivering
    lords of destruction
    Riding blood stained camels
    From village to village
