Which non-white-male contemporary authors would you recommend Veeky Forums?
Trying to broaden my horizons and embrace diversity more than I have been.

Leftists love censorship because they fear the Truth
Outside of McCarthy I'm struggling to recommend any living authors who are even white men. Resign contemporary ""literature"" to the fucking bin where it belongs.
I clearly need to lurk more because I have no clue who Mira Gonzalez is, but holy shit her twitter records from November 8th are the best. Trump-induced SJW meltdown fantastic.
Hating contemporary literature and only liking dead writers is a classic sign a middlebrow pleb btw
Ryu Murakami, he would make Eli Roth vomit.

Start with Chimimanda Adichie and Zadie Smith (as seen on OP pic)
Please post that pic everyday
Maybe it will give me the final kick to kill myself
Just read the latin american canon
fuck white people

unironically this
'White people' complaining about 'white people'. Literature is dead. We all want to consume 'authentic' subjectivity. But if you are deliberately trying to be 'authentic' you reify authenticity, destroying it. Upper middle 'creative'/media classes (a race in themselves) realize their life is boring and fake, so they look to an idealized 'authentic' other, in the process instrumentalizing this other and turning it into a reflection of their own neuroses. As a result the world ends up more boring and fake than before.
I was raised by white parents, but I have dark skin. The best of both worlds.
How contemporary do you mean, OP?
Obvious recs would be Drown by Junot Diaz and White Teeth by Zadie Smith. But if the recently deceased count you have to check out Roberto Bolano's The Savage Detectives. Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye is great. Albert Murray's Train Whistle Guitar is phenomenal if you've ever wondered what Joycean word play would look like in the context of Alabama. My Name is Red by Orhan Pamuk is an ingenious postmodern whodunit set in 16th century Istanbul and featuring a cast of nutty miniaturists. I've never read any Murakami but Kafka On the Shore is pretty well received if you wanted to start with him.
I don't know OP what are you looking for I could ramble out a huge list of non-white male authors but it might be more helpful to you if I knew what your tastes were.

Mira Gonzales is actually pretty cool, she's culturally white though. So according to her she's shit.
She only writes about white girl problems.
Veeky Forums confirmed kill, no, sorry, Veeky Forums confirmed kill.
>you have to check out
I really don't appreciate that sort of dictatorial language. It's very disappointing to read that sort of thing in 2016.
i like tao
I live in urban Texas. None of us really have a problem with rural areas being conservative. You should come hang out in one of the cities sometime, they're all pretty great.
