Why you must read it.., June 5, 2000
This review is from: Why Must a Black Writer Write About Sex? (Paperback)
There is more substance in a single paragraph of this book than in ten thousand pages of Grisham or King. Reading this book will change how you think about America, fame, blondes, books, sex and popular culture. Every sentence is to be relished.

Why is this book out of print?, May 13, 2000
This review is from: Why Must a Black Writer Write About Sex? (Paperback)
This book is the conceptual if not the chronological follow-up to 'How to Make Love to a Negro', and shares many of the same traits: it's oddly written, occasionally infuriating, and defiantly un-PC. Basically a series of loosely connected vignettes about America, success, race, and sex, it doesn't sound very unique but the writing puts it ahead of the pack - great, weird journalism, in the tradition of Hunter S. Thompson. It's not essential by any means, but it is worthwhile and it certainly shouldn't be out of print.
