Mark Sullivan gave a link to a Goines article.
********************* Thanks, Mark. It was a good article. I
had to smile when I read the part about publishers being
leery of marketing books with a black male protagonist. The
general rule of empathy is that like attracts like, so that
means they were targeting black male readers, and publishers
don't think they read. If I recall correctly, Walter Mosley
went through the same problem.
