Minus British-authored books, I don’t think most Americans think to read outside of their geographic comfort zone.

It’s a chronicle of his experience with AIDS coming to a very small Tennessee town after the main onset in NYC, San Francisco, Boston, & Atlanta. He is an Indian, but raised in Ethiopia before immigrating to the US.

Comment on Some thoughts about book titles by Anonymous http://staciaseaman.com/2012/07/23/some-thoughts-about-book-titles/#comment-1188 Wed, 25 Jul 2012 22:51:00 +0000 http://staciaseaman.com/wordpress/2012/07/23/some-thoughts-about-book-titles/#comment-1188 Book Titles

Having read your passage here, it got me thinking, or rather fit in with a thread that has remained in mind since a gradutae class on feminism, race, and sexuality I took a few semesters ago. The professor, Dr. Carol Siegel, proposed in class again and again, that things have been changing. In the plodding day to day of our existence, though, it seems that nothing has changed. Consider the breadths of the titles that define women by their relationships or thier dependency upon men. The discussion about titles draws me back to Chinua Achebe’s scathing refutation of Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” as a canonical text. Achebe’s contention that Conrad was a “thoroughgoing racist” is a continuing point of debate, but it is also a watermark. How many authors would dream of writing a story such as “Heart of Darkness” today and naming it such. Although there are problably examples of racist or extereme conservatives who might, I would argue that society has, as a larger whole, moved beyond the attitudes reflected in this — albiet quite old– example. So when you ask the question, Stacia, what is in a title, I think it draws attention, and awareness to the problem, as have other authors, like Achebe. And that is how things change. Bravo, then. Good job. Let us continue to think about this craft we engage in, about how we write, and continue to work toward the improvement of our skills, abilities, knowledge, and importantly, question the reasons why we follow certain conventions.

It’s not even a tribute night–I think it’s scheduled first thing in the morning on Friday.
