Has she succeeded in doing what few writers have pulled off in my lifetime at least (including Rowling)...e.g. created a unique mythology? Hell yes. The "ghetto" slant of some of her characters might be a gimmick to ensnare the sistagurls out their...but I'd rather see the hook baited with ghettofab worms so someone will bite on a new universe, rather than the same ole same ole soap opera novels, thug odes and church lady wet dreams.Christopher Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16981041389119024155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-11444720264002978222007-07-23T17:29:00.000-04:002007-07-23T17:29:00.000-04:00Christopher,Hey, man, thanks for the mention.

She has truly re-ignited a candle which i thought had burned out.<BR/><BR/>As for African American readers and writers, I'm not qualified to say, but the thought is that if a small group of both can remain inspired, they can light the way for everyone, including the most ignorant and self-destructive.
