one of my personal icons was samuel delaney. look at works like bebel 17, some deep, serious, intense political things in these books. obviously looking at a parallel universe or another kind of future but especially -- is a big read and going through it is quite a challenge. but he was waxing poetic about if we were basically in a post apocalyptic world how we would fare in certain situations and circumstances. and octavia butler with the parable series. you have some very deep political -- when i think about black literature in general is because of the history of alaska 400 plus years, a very political history, very conflicted people complex, tragic history. politics his tragedy. satire is politics. we have very political people and it comes in all of our literature. i got here a little late but i heard it comes out in chester himes's works. gwendolyn brooks. my title tantrum which his this gritty, dark pulp fiction sort of political thriller, lot of that was inspired in the bottom of the well. remember reading that. and the
