So who won besides Edward P Jones (read in the newspaper)? How many poems did Sonia Sanchez read?<BR/><BR/>Thank goodness for Marita Golden. This group has provided a "refuge" (your word) for black literature, poetry, decent non fiction. So much of what we're measured by is profane "chicklit" ghetto novels and inane howto get a man self help books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-67454458776051539612007-11-04T20:47:00.000-05:002007-11-04T20:47:00.000-05:00Funny..the two of us in the same space and no intr...Funny..the two of us in the same space and no introduction...maybe next time?<BR/><BR/>Joy!<BR/><BR/>BBernice L.

Jones's three books, although it's hard to say because they're all good. I haven't had a chance to read any of the other nominated fiction yet, but I plan to read Dominion, the novel by Calvin Baker. <BR/><BR/>I'm a little disappointed that Louis Chude-Sokei's book, which I'm now more than halfway through, didn't win. It's about Bert Williams, West Indians in early black Harlem, and the phenomena of intra-racial and cross-cultural passing and masquerade -- in literature as well as society. Frankly, concepts like ethnic altercasting are new to me, so it's an eye-opening book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34770350.post-16118437363688091442007-11-03T15:00:00.000-04:002007-11-03T15:00:00.000-04:00Congratulations!
