I really enjoyed "The Professor's Daughter" by Emily Raboteau, which I first heard about on this board is yet another great novel by a member of the highly creative under-30 generation! I can't do it justice in a few sentences, but the main character and her brother are children of an interracial marriage; the father, a Princeton professor, has a secret in his past. The other professor, Lester Wright, whose Ethiopian wife is the "White Buffalo Woman," seems suspiciosly like Cornel West! The main character Emma's story based on the life of South African novelist, Bessie Head, has me interested in that author's work. |
