Hey, it's on Bloom's canon list
Giovanni's Room
Native Son
And I loved Walter Dean Meyers when I was growing up. Scorpions was a book I re-read a lot. Basically young adult literature meets season 1 of The Wire.
A black person wrote A Raisin in the Sun right?

Not disagreeing with the quality of the book but that list was shite and half of it didn't belong in the Canon.
Please pardon my pimp-esque prose, padre.

Agreed. I've also always had a soft spot for Chinua Achebe but I don't think /lit/ shares this soft spot with me as he is never really mentioned here.
Also if autobiographies count, then Malcolm X's autobiography, Miles Davis' Miles and Charles Mingus' Beneath The Underdog are worthwhile.

I didn't know Giovanni's Room was written by a black guy. Cool.
