I guess the days of James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, and Richard Wright are gone...Didn't Toni Morrison and Alice Walker win a Prize for their work?....When I saw this article I wonder do people really see black women or black people in general like this?I will say growing up in the 70's and 80's I was a big fan of E. Lynn Harris and Eric Jerome Dickey...But to be honest I never thought of their books or work as ghetto literature....."Section 8 a hood rat novel","Stacking Papers", "The Last B Standing","A Project Chick"," Married To The Game", and "The Dopeman's wife". Question: What standard do Essence use to determine who's a bestselling author?
