Introduction
Hi, my name is Vicki ("Ms. Vyk" for short) and I am an avid reader, oftern reading 4-5 books at a time. I would love to participate in a book club that caters exclusively to black writers. Thanks and I look forward to meeting everyone!
What are your two favorite books penned by an African American author and why?
Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler and Fortunate Son by Walter Mosley. They both do a remarkable job of creating unforgettable characters trying to survive in an unapologetic world. Parable of the Sower depicts life in CA after war. Chilling!
What Vicki is saying about this Meetup Group
This group feeds my literary soul which has been craving black literature. There are so many black authors and wonderful books that need to be read and discussed and "so little time." Black Expressions provides an avenue, once a month, for this to happen. In addition, the women in the group are all very grounded, intelligent and with great senses of humor. We have fun and everyone is made to feel welcome. There's no drama. Well, very little...
You must be signed in to post a Greeting.
