Studies the role and purpose of satire as a literary genre,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: African American Satire: The Sacredly Profane Novel (Hardcover)
Darryl Dickson-Carr's African American Satire is recommended for college-level audiences; this studies the role and purpose of satire as a literary genre in African-American writings. Afro-American literature and the history of satire are concurrently studied in chapters which argue that major works by Hughes, Ellison and other should be viewed as satires in order to fully appreciate their meaning.

My, my, my, what an excellent book.,
By A Customer
This review is from: African American Satire: The Sacredly Profane Novel (Hardcover)
Wow! I could not believe how remarkably crispy this book was. I mean the pages were just crisp with crispness. You know how when sometimes you're reading a book and you think to yourself "Dam! This book is crispy!"? Well, when you read this book, it will make you think that. Are you ready to ascend to new levels of crispiness? Then reading this handsome man's audacious study of the crisp. I found particularly interesting the area where he compares Lacan's mirror stage to Ralph Ellison's novel: "THE CRISP FACTOR". What a tight, irresistable thriller!
