Brehs.... My wife works at the Library. She's doing the black history month display this year (she seems to always do it). She's looking to change it up a little this year. What recent books, manga, ect. by black authors are popular and good? Recent meaning within the last 5 years. She just needs some suggestions...

A Brief History of Seven Killings, by Marlon James

Anything by Nnedi Okafor

 

[Neuromancer]

I've been reading Steven Kings on writing. Great book, probably the most digestible book on how to write I've ever read.
