Here Are Lots Of Great Novels By African American Authors

By Margaret Hall


For many people reading is a past time they enjoy. Finding a great book to read is easier than ever now with the use of smart phones and popular e-readers. There is a large variety of books available which includes many niches. This is needed as some readers enjoy mysteries, others are into suspense or a great romance while others choose novels by African American authors.

Now these novels are no different in that there is a large variety available based on the type of story you enjoy. There are lists online that can easily be accessed that gives a breakdown of the author, their primary style and the best book to start with. This takes all the guesswork out of trying to decide which book to read.

The lists make it quite simple and quick to figure out what one might be interested in. There are extensive lists available on African American authors. One can quickly determine there is something that would appeal to everyone as the styles run the gamut.

Many of these lists include information on both well known authors as well authors that are accomplished by lesser known. Some might recognize Maya Angelou's name or Frederick Douglass from years of exposure, or the name Thomas Sowell or perhaps Alice Walker. There are other lesser known authors that are listed for the well read novels they have penned and that should be further explored. With a little research one is sure to find a great fit.

There are many readers that prefer to feel as they know the author and put in research on this individual before actually reading their books. Once they find out about the author and feel somewhat of a connection they will then read most if not all of their work. If this is important, then finding information about the author is generally quite easy online.

Available literature written by African Americans run the gamut. Many assume that the only thing available from African American authors is historical, poetry, or urban stories. This is obviously a myth as there is something for everyone. For those preferring something light and sensual, a good romance is easy to find by one of the well written authors. If it is something historical, or horror, or even a great mystery, the offerings are quite lengthy.

Just like there are some readers that prefer to choose particular authors based on a connection, there are other readers that focus more on who has something on the best seller list. Many books written by African American authors have been included on best seller lists numerous times. If this is a requirement, one can be found by looking for the information online.

We would be remiss not to mention books by African American authors that have been turned into movies. There is quite a long list with some being quite well known. Several of the most widely known include Roots and the Color Purple with the later being a successful Broadway show in addition to being a movie. These are just a tip of the iceberg. Regardless of whether it is a movie, a play, or a great read, one need only decide to pick one to enjoy.
