I think this is a very good thread--and funny! I've felt for a long time that most African American popular fiction can be classed as shoddy,mass-produced works lacking any real literary merit.This is so because publishers(I believe) think that this clientele has been so starved for books for so long that whatever "stuff" gets published some "sucka" will read it. I hope that this is changing--we need to get Jesse to start another boycott!
Among the thoughtful works I've read in the past few years have been by Tananarive Due and Sci-Fi/Fantasy author Octavia Butler.
