Pushkin
James Joyce

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

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

dumas is the capeshit of the 19th century, though
