Ishmael Reed: Some Stinging Comments on "Precious" and Novel's author Sapphire Offers a Counter View
Ishmael Reed: Some Stinging Comments on "Precious"
Recently I referred to a book I'm reading by Ishmael Reed which is one of those 'academic' novels that pokes satirical fun at those days in the 80s & 90s when political correctness was the orthodoxy of the day, and multiculturalism was more sloganistic than genuinely real (see Ismael Reed's JAPANESE SPRING). Up until this read I had never come across Reed till I read his op ed in today's New York Times. In it he pens a hard-edged critique of PRECIOUS, which of course, is one of the Academy's nominated ten best pictures for this year. Still haven't seen it myself but will be screening it soon. To read the critique see "Fade to White" at:

For a counter-view read the interview with the novelist's (PUSH) author Sapphire in The Wall Street Journal: http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2010/01/06/novelist-sapphire-on-precious-and-the-evolution-of-her-book-push/tab/article/
