Genres

I've been thinking about what Neil said about the whole children as a genre writing thing. He's quite right.

But there's more to it than thinking of children as one child with one taste.

I'm reading Big Girls Don't Cry by Connie Briscoe-. I checked it out of the library. The spine has a little note that says African American.

What the hell is that? Only the coloured need apply? It will only appeal to African Americans? It has issues that only blacks will find of interest? It talks about racism? Well it does but you know I don't think genreing off fiction is going to do a whole to help race relations. I'm just sayin'
