Ralph Ellison author of literary classic Invisible Man (kinda fine, too)
We were going through our compact home library the other day looking for a book written by Mr. James Baldwin—-the title escapes us at the moment. Anyway during our search a light bulb went on: maybe we should share this literary wealth of ours with our LGBT and same gender loving Nubian fam’ and friends who might be interested in a little critical reading. We gathered a stack of books and realized it might be best to start out with about 5 or 6 suggestions instead of a two-page list.
Ultimately we picked out six excellent works that we think you’ll enjoy if you haven’t had a chance to read any of them. If we had to choose one of them to take with us on a deserted island we have to say undoubtedly it would be Black Looks: Race and Representation by bell Hooks, hands down. It’s a classic and a must read for all African Americans. By the way, all of the selections here are non-fiction. So if you’re looking for some E. Lynn Harris drama you won’t find it here. All titles below can be found on Amazon.com or any other major bookseller. We’ve also provided short reviews along with each title.
