Editorial Reviews

Review

"There are enough twists and curves to keep any reader titillated. [Big Black Penis] gives insight into the author’s inner workings, showing his vulnerability, fear, and concern in full―something not often granted to black men in America."  ―East Bay Express

"Truth comes in many flavors. Shawn Taylor's Big Black Penis is a picnic of spicy nuggets. Open it anywhere and laugh with recognition."  ―Steven Barnes, author, Lion's Blood and The Cestus Deception

"Shawn Taylor's deep questions and riveting stories give us a lens into our own culture that we desperately need."  ―damali ayo, author, How to Rent a Negro

"The black nerd has become the locus of pomo literary style."  ―San Fransisco Bay Guardian

"An intimate and comically insightful portrait of African-American masculinity."  —Tri-County Sentry



"A great exploration into what it means to be a man in today's society."  ―Pop Syndicate

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I hold degrees in philosophy and religion, but don't believe in dogma of any kind--I'm just curious how these things impact our world. I love to listen to and tell stories. I was born in Brooklyn, moved to Minnesota, and now I live in the Bay Area of California. My single greatest attribute is that I engage wonder on a daily basis. My greatest fault is that I am impatient. One of my main goals is to have something published every eighteen months.
