It's pretty simple.

Is it written by a white male?

No?

Then /lit/ won't like it.

I was hoping I would enjoy it but I thought it was one of the worst books I've ever read. It has no redeeming qualities save for the unique description of a black community in its time and place.

this is more prose than literature. personally, i loved the book. certainly not for the plot but for the way the author was really good at characterization and relating characters to nature. i say that it's prose because there's just a lot of metaphors and imagery and metaphors in the imagery than actual real narrative.

also i normally hate books that have southern dialect because they're usually so off it's just embarrassing to read but this author did a fairly okay job on dialect.

their eyes were watching god > heart of darkness (at least)

Not entirely true. We like books written by East Asian males
