reviewed Scarring the Black body on September 04, 2017 Scarring the Black body
Totally should not have been the first hooks I read. It's a little repetitious, and there are some essays I utterly failed to connect with in any way (the spirituality ones, especially), and I wanted to throw the book across the room when she dismisses popular/mainstream writing and writers as inattentive to and uninterested in craft, but that is a pet peeve of mine.
I'd like to know what hooks thinks of Octavia Butler -- a black female writer who writes explicitly and gorgeously about gender, race, and class, but does so in genre.
Her point about how black female writers historically have often died young, and therefore cannot afford the niceties of waiting to write the family memoir until their parents are dead, though, that struck me. A lot.
