William Wells Brown

[alice malice]

Why Brown? Because he pioneered virtually every genre of African
American writing. Want to know black culture in his revolutionary time
and as it has come down to us today? Read William Wells Brown. Because
he was the most rivetingly inventive, entertaining black writer of his
era. And because he was, as a mid-twentieth-century critic noted, a
person unable to be uninteresting.
