Are there any good books written in Ebonics?
What do you think?

Close enough batty boy. Also, Faulkner when he channels nigger.
Yes.

No writer in history was able to master the complexities and nuances involved in writing in Ebonics, so no.

I'm amazed that nice lady knows the word verbatim, and knows how to use it correctly.
The novel Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace has a great chapter written mostly in ebonics.

Writing is the pasttime of introverts and shut-ins who are predisposed to not writing in the short-handed language of socialites

The only people who can write ebonics in an authentic manner are too stupid to create worthwhile literature

Too bad it was done lazily with Gizoogle. An actual version by a linguist who had studies AAVE would have been a lot more interesting (and probably still funny in a racist way).

Hey, look, Elon Musk, the smartest man in the world is here to disabuse us of the canard that all regional dialects (like Scottish, for example) are not Ebonics.
The Color Purple.

Yeah, started this recently and came here to post this. Faulkner's weirder than that, though, Go Down Moses in particular is bizarre

'Cos it's fake as fuck, as confirmed by the other "stripper" 2 days later.
Only reason this shit got any attention was because HuffPo/ NYMag/ Buzzfeed/ The Guardian/ every other shit-tier-"left" rag loved the idea of some strong independent coloreds rehashing Spring Breakers without the satire and with more "OMG Yas Qween" scenes.
Journalism in 2015.
Amazing thing's that sites like Complex picked up on and bought into it, and still have the audacity to say that regular media are the ones stereotyping.

This would actually make a great movie adaptation.

Outside of Walter Mosley, you are either reading extreme parody or phd level intellectual masturbation.
