What is her fucking problem? Why does she get so salty when people find her book in both poor taste and trashy?
who give le fuck desu
I don't even know who that is, and I don't recognize her book.

It's the book in which she exploits the struggle of black people to instigate some emotional response from the reader so that it might be considered a modern masterpiece.

>what the fuck is her problem?
OP, her problem is she got molested by her father and now she thinks all men are like that.
The fact that she hates it when people criticize her book or claim they "just don't get it" should tell you what kind of author she is

a vinegar cunt?

Instigate?
who give le fuck desu
why does /lit/ take topical trash so seriously?
her name is Sapphire, what do you expectThe other reason is that all ethnic literature is super defensive of itself and any marginally "canonical" book by a POC gets treated as a sacred cow

Top post on goodreads is a black chick destroying this novel I've never heard of. Why should I care?

Have you seen her publically speak or give an interview? You clearly get the idea that she has her head so buried up her own ass that she has lost touch with reality

Oh, god, this. I had to read a Toni Morrison book for a GE college class once and write an essay about it. It was fucking awful. The only reason Morrison is even relevant today is because she's black, a woman, and writes about oppression and all that. The professor literally claimed he picked her because she was a black woman and we needed to stop reading "dead white men." There are plenty of other black writers who write much better than she does, and some of them are even women (Chimamanda Ngozi Adichi, Lorraine Hansberry, Alex Haley, Zora Neale Hurston...). If we're going for just writers who aren't "dead white men," you'd got great stuff written by Yukio Mishima, Boualem Sansal, Murasaki Shikibu, and tons of others. Instead people keep pushing Tony Morrison as if "The Bluest Eye" is a modern classic.
