Even the libraries are bereft of new good black reading.Few of the I know like toread but they will pay a hundred dollars to see one of Tyler Perry's movies and or flock to see his movies. You deride gangsta/chick-lit. They have been reading the other chick-lit for years. How did they get the attention of Banes/Noble and others. They stood on our corners in rain, sun, sleet or snow to sell their books. At first we felt sorry for them, The black folk found they had books like the ones in the mall stores. They, as you say, began to buy in the millions. As a former bookseller I have to tell you, buyers are cheap. If they spend over five dollars, the books had better be fast paced and the words like Baldwin's costing no more than five cents. Enjoyed reading your $.25 words anywayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8365667.post-1171084810542156622007-02-10T00:20:00.000-05:002007-02-10T00:20:00.000-05:00This is simply a wonderful blog post which says so...This is simply a wonderful blog post which says so much about so many topics which are involved in my own struggle to write and establish an audience for my lit.
