Paradise was a lot whew! But her books slay me even on re-reading.

I recently read her Origin of  Others and she goes into detail about the world of Paradise and how she intentionally doesn?t name "who the white girl" is. It didn?t resonate until she highlighted it in her recent essays. I can?t wait to go back and re-read.

[yummy]

Finally getting started on "Haiti Noir" 

I finished the Trinidad Noir and Istanbul Noir anthologies last year and heard their were far more interesting ones in the series

Wish me luck

Who?s the author?

It's a collection of short stories from different authors, most are from the island.

Thank you for this thread king!

Im lurking because I have been trying to revive my interest in reading but I haven't really come across a book that helps with that. I just finished 'Why I Am No Longer Talking To White People About Race' by Reni Eddo-Lodge.  That didn't really do it.

Im thinking of trying some Ta-Nehisi Coates books but to be completely honest, sociopolitical books from a Black perspective don't seem interesting to me atm. Anyone reading any good fantasy books?

[African Queen]

I've read most of Toni Morrison's books. I think they are essential reading for African Americans. She is masterful in my eyes.

I would started with the Song of Solomon, Beloved (the film is trash but watchable) and A Mercy.

I also love Lionel Shriver she is so twisted and it is evident in her writing:

We Need to Talk About Kevin is one of the best books I've Ever Read (the film is trash but watchable)
So Much for That
Big Brother

King get into ?Children of Blood and Bone?. It?s what I?d describe as Afro-Futurist fiction novel centered on African cosmology. I was so emotional and inspired. It?s pretty popular now.
