This book came in the other day. I have to admit that I didn't like the introduction. Feels like it was written by a black woman. Hopefully it gets better.

I am resisting the urge to skip staight to the chapter about how BM love WW because they give great head.
 
John Henry Days - Colson Whitehead
Blue Note: The Biography - Richard Cook
The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing - Al Ries and Jack Trout

It won't. It's actually written for a black female audience, hence every stereotype about BM/WW is included and magnified about 500%.
 
Hmm so my feeling was right, thanks for the warning. I'll press on as long as I can stomach it.

Beautiful02, did you get that impression as well?

I thought it was written by a BW, no??
 
Excuse me...did you say something? I am totally distracted by your avatar picture. Very pretty. :cool:

At any rate, the book is by some dude named Rajen Persaud but the intro which I'm reading now sounds to me like it could be written by a BW. Here is a sample:

"As a result, the WW is psychosocially conditioned to fear the BM and the BW. They in turn become the ultimate obstacles for the WW; the BW represents a sexual competitive challenge and the BM a frightening physical one. One can take her man and the other can take her humanity...

...WM, whether or not they were slaveowners, viewed WW as a private fife and less than equal beings...as a result their (WW) lives are drudged with the boredom of false chivalry..."

I got this book through the conservative book club back in the early 90s. It is now out of print, but I think it may have inspired Levin:

Liberty or Equality: The Challenge of Our Times by Erik Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn

That book is sick!
I once saw it as a play in Stockholm with Lena Olin as Margarita... about 20 years ago before she came to Hollywood. They had her swinging on this chandelier right out over the audience. I feel sorry for thepeople that had not read the book beforehand as the story/time line is a bit eh... complicated:-)

Im glad Im not the only one - I encourage people to pick it up - it is a very good book.

I never read Theater Novel, is it good (silly question Im sure):-)
 
Thanks GG :)

It is a temporary thing, not sure for how long. I am on a little break right now trying to re group and make some major decisions. This year has been really rough. I think one of the worst in my entire life. Just trying to figure out what I want to do next and if I am going to fulfill some commitments or try and make a fresh start somewhere else.

And trust me when I say...I have NO USE for tickle his pickle over here! lol
 
Vanilla, I'm really sorry to hear that. I wish you luck in deciding what path you want to take from this point forward. Also, I would like to add that if you don't have any 'use' for the book where you are that you run far far away. :D
 
Well I have no use for it here, but I also have no desire to be applying the practical knowledge at the moment!

Like I said...rough year.
