Are there many actually good black writers? I heard a discussion about this and was curious.

Pushkin

James Joyce

ellison

Invisible man is good

Haven't read Omeros by Walcott yet but it looks good from what I've seen

I actually enjoyed The bluest eye by Morrison

all of the great writers, immanuel kant, st augustine, dante, david foster wallace, they were all black

Literally only bug eyed Baldwin

Unironinically Ellison truly was a great writer.

Ironically, every great writer was black, and there has been a massive conspiracy to misidentify white men as the writers of the great works of the literary cannon.

>puts dfw with dante
I know its ironic but still it makes me want to die a little

Machado de Assis.
The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas is definitely worth a read. Dom Casmurro too, but I don't know if it's been translated to english

Haven't read many, but Chinchua Achebe and Richard Wright come to mind.

Alexandre Dumas, author of The Three Musketeers

One of the few posts in the thread that isn't a shitpost.
Reading Achebe made me less of a racist.

>Invisible man is good

dont listen to retards op

This but unironically

Toni Morrison

derrida

marlon james

Amiri Baraka
W. E. B. Dubois
Paul Lawrence Dunbar
Langston Hughes
Toni Morrison
Chinua Achebe
Octavia Butler

If you want something bland and inoffensive enough to appeal to the mentalities of people currently in college, go with this guy and Audre Lorde

He was mixed-race, with açorian heritage, he was actually more white than black, not sure if counts.

Fredrick Douglass is pretty engaging.

Toni morrison; song of solomon was enjoyable

>Are there many actually good black writers
No

oprah

dumas is the capeshit of the 19th century, though
