They also behave for a white man.

I thought this was just a social selection thing, but then I found out there is a whole YouTube community for black men who hate black women and one of their biggest gripes is how black women change entirely for a white man

He's been dead and is widely read still. He'll be read for a while longer. Ivan Denisovich isn't a work for the ages, but a friend has told me Gulag Archipelago is an incredible work.

Also they've picked Harold Pinter in recent years which was a great pick.

Ivan Denisovich is pretty good, haven't read Gulag Archipelago, but Cancer Ward is a phenomenal book that should be more widely read/discussed.

>>8588498
there's still a void in the subject matter there. I'd say "my sister does that" then someone would ask if she was black and we'd be here discussing it as we are now, so I figured I'd mention it for clarity's sake

Yes, the point was that since Solzhenitsyn the quality of authors who got it has dropped. The Gulag Archipelago may as well be the most monumental work of literature and a human achievement in general. To have written that is a feat very few can do.
I've recently finished it and it's one of the best books I've read this year.
>>8588508
I got In the First Circle but haven't gotten around it yet. The prose is phenomenal judging on the first glance.
