But that's wrong, the best novel written by an African-American is Dhalgren by Samuel R. Delany.

Hogg was pretty good though.

I like that Delany didn't go the muh oppression route with his novels.

Is Hogg the thing about the pedophile with the boy sex slaves or whatever?

>talking to yourself

there's a replies/posters at the bottom of the thread, newfag

death and the kings horseman

big fuck you to the british without actually going overboard

Essentially yes, although Hogg is mainly a professional rapist of women.

He's the only black American to write something different in the last 50 years.

calling soyinka "african american" is a pretty big fucking stretch

It's actually The Mad Man by Samuel R. Delany.

It's more than a stretch - he's a Nigerian who's taught at American universities.

Hell, calling Delaney "African-American" (an idiotic term) is a bit of a stretch.

... and Death and the King's Horseman is a play, of course, not a novel.

He's an actual "African-American" though. Of course, OP was talking about black Americans, so he still wouldn't fit.

No, you see, the difference between what you're saying and what we said, is that what we said is valid. You've named a play by a Nigerian when asked for a novel by an African-American. Second, even taking into account African-American being 'an idiotic term', Delany fulfils all the requirements of being so called. Stop digging, son.

It's Trick Baby by Iceberg Slim.

I'm glad nobody's trying to suggest the best novel written by an African-American is by someone other than Samuel R. Delany.

what now bitch?

It's actually Samuel R. Delaney by Samuel L. Jackson.

Sheeeet

I didn't name any Nigerian play, son. I was simply saying that Delany looks like an old white guy.

Yeah, everyone who ever saw him made that observation already. He is an African-American though. Why you echoed the post about the Nigerian Soyinka to make your observation, I don't know.

>Yeah, everyone who ever saw him made that observation already.

Aw, you're saying I'm a hack, aren't you? Don't you care at all about my feelings?

>He is an African-American though.

Still a dumb term, and he still looks like an old white guy.

>Why you echoed the post about the Nigerian Soyinka to make your observation, I don't know.

The truth is that I just felt like it.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure Delaney hasn't been outside in 60 years.

Does Sam even count as 'black'? He looks almost albino

He's black because he's of African descent

He's probably like 75% Northern European if you look at genetics, but thanks to the one drop rule he's African American

DELANY. No E.


I admire your decision to post a pic showing Delany looking as black as Muhammed Ali with a text claiming he's basically white. Attacking the opposing argument at its strongest point, I guess?

professional, eh? i wonder if they have a union.
