Platitudes: & the New Black Aesthetic (Northeastern Library of Black Literature)by Trey Ellis
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Reprints Ellis's highly acclaimed playful, irreverent, and uproariously funny debut novel that has a black feminist fiction writer and a black male postmodern novelist creating dueling narratives about the coming of age of two sex-starved teenagers in New York City. Synopsis:Trey Ellis's uproariously funny debut novel Platitudes, first published in 1988, takes on conflicts within the African American literary community. Dewayne Wellington, a failing black experimental novelist, and Isshee Ayam, a radical feminist author, collaborate on Dewayne's latest sexist comedy. Alternately telling the story about the coming of age of Earle and Dorothy-two black middle-class teenagers, sex-starved in New York City-the battling writers sneak ever, and dangerously, closer to reconciling their literary disputes. This edition of Platitudes also includes The New Black Aesthetic, a groundbreaking essay by Ellis that appeared in the journal Callaloo. Synopsis:A playful, irreverent look at the African-American literary community. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
