The Works of Black Artemis

[Deleted]

Her real name is Sofia Quintero. Normally, I don't have favorite authors, only favorite books, but after reading her novels there's a special place reserved for her on my shelf. She's a writer of hip-hop fiction, but don't let that scare you off. Her books are very layered. They deal with issues of race, class and gender. Part of what makes this author so compelling is her perspective on hip-hop. She goes beyond the mainstream.This interview explains it much better than I ever could.

So far she's only written two novels: Explicit Content and Picture me Rollin'. She's working on a third story called Burn.

So...has anyone read her work?

I haven't read any of her work, but will after reading that interview. Sounds interesting.
