I am not a Hemingway fan at all either. In fact, in one of my writing classes I did a piece about a trip to Key West, and how upon arrival at Hemingway's house, I just wanted to take a look at the cats with thumbs. Not impressed by him, his house, or his work. The cats are another story.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed a number of pieces from some of the authors you've listed. Loved "Things Fall Apart." "The Dilemma of a Ghost" and "Anowa" I read back-to-back and enjoyed both, and I've only read Soyinka's "Telephone Conversation" and I liked it. I also enjoy the works of Sembène, Cliff, and Aboulela.
This was a nice read. Good to get to know a little something about you.

ReplyDeleteThanks!!! I'll check it out.
Hey, lady!!! I was having some seriously massive complications with my stupid blog, and my gmail account, so the comments I made on your latest blogs: if you click on those links, they are dead and and THIS is my new link to my blog! It's just getting started up, but I already have a blog posted I think you'll like: http://kurosunehime.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-black-person-that-hates-rap-get.html
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your blogs, especially the Blasian Narrative. And your stories! I HIT the ceiling after reading "Oh, Mika Mika" and your latest stories. I really think it a blessing coming across your blog and the Blasian Narrative; great job! Hope to see you around soon! I'd like your HONEST opinion on my blog post "What?! A Black Person That Hates Rap?! Get Out Of Here!!!! No...really". Honestly, as a writer, and one who admires your own work, I'd really like your opinion. Thanks so much!

ReplyDeleteLeave your name so I can know whom to blush at.
I just discovered your blogs (this one and the Blasian Narrative) and I am hooked! Great posts on empowering BW & AM. It's nice to have a corner of the net to hear some truths, spread some love and to take a breather from all the stress of race fails that keep popping up on all the blogs I read.
ReplyDeleteAlso great to see another BW geek girl. ;-) I especially love your Trek posts (Gabrielle Union was a Klingon! Woot I'm a Trek fan with TOS and DS9 being my faves and I didn't even know that lol)! I'll definitely be checking back here to keep up to date.
Btw, where can we get some of your writing?
