I had to choose Walter Mosley’s Easy Rawlins series. It starts in 1948 Los Angeles. Easy Rawlins is the main character. He’s a nice fair man with good intentions. He’s also very seductive too. Even though, he can sometimes get himself in quite a lot of mess. You’ll be routing for Easy right from the […]

If you like this, you’ll love The Essential Gwendolyn Brooks. This little gem covers her earliest poetry from […]
I haven’t read many debut novels by African-American authors in the past few years, but The Hate U Give was published in 2017 and surprisingly enough had me gripped. As you know, I don’t usually read YA novels but I loved everything about what I was hearing from this book on audio. The Hate U […]

There are so many novels that I’d like to reread but the one that comes to mind from an African-American author is Native Son. I first read Native Son in college for a third year literary course. I was blown away by the precision in Richard Wright’s writing style. You will literally go through all […]
