  1. I read some AA romance that still takes black relationships seriously; the most recent I think being Gotham Diaries and a novel about a black teacher who began a romantic relationship with one of her former students (years later once he's a grown man, of course). I think those were pretty well-received.
  2. Whoa on the Ralph Ellison and Richard Wright not being part of the Renaissance thing, though. Didn't know that. They were always bunched together with a bunch of other Renaissance folks in lessons so....My old English teacher needs to get fired. By the way, I know this isn't a Renaissance book either, but have you ever read The Spook Who Sat By the Door? The movie for it was very good, but the book is a BEAST.
  3. I'm looking for some good books or literary work from the Harlem Renaissance to read and I'm in desperate need of some help. I've already read Zora Hurston's stuff. Same for Richard Wright, Ralph Ellison and Langston Hughes, along with a pretty good anthology called Ebony Rising. I don't know where else to start though. Any more suggestions though?
