Most great authors dont really write about "being white/asian" whatever. It colours the book, of course, but it's not the primary motive of writing. Céline didn't write with the goal of making a book about "being French", Dostoyevsky didn't write with the goal of just writing about "being russian". Even if you know nothing about 18th century Germany, Goethe's works can still hold tremendous artistic value. There is far more depth to their works than just that, which is why their appeal is far broader and more universal than authors like Toni Morrison, whose works are just so one-dimensional by comparison. If you're interested in the plight of blacks in the US of the second half of the 20th century, you should read her, but that's it.

anyways what can you tell us about the last book you've read? i just finished roberto arlt's "rabid toy". excellent prose and good concept, i like the contrast between whats being described and how its described. sadly, i found the ending to be anticlimactic

I have written more words in these few post than fatty has written for The Winds of Never Ever this year.
