Hmmmm. Didn’t notice that but it’s not my list — it’s a list of from authors about authors. Which black and international authors would you add? I would add Hermann Hesse and Steppenwolf and Siddhartha to the international list, but then again, I’m not a writer! :-D

Oh My Todd, I am a major Herman Hesse Fan, in addition to Steppenwolf (personal favorite) and Siddhartha, I also love a little novella of his called Demian, have you read it? ;)
I would have included: Paulo Coehlo just examine,The Alchemist #WoW!!! Toni Morrison ALL of her work, Isabelle Allende, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (I love Elective Affinities, read in school and started an affair with Goethe then and there :D), James Baldwin ALL of his work, Richard Wright, Zora Neale Hurston, Arundhati Roy (The God of Small Things is a book I consistently recommend), Sandra Cisneros, Yukio Mishima, Kazuo Ishiguro, Maxine Hong Kingston (The Woman Warrior is a masterpiece in modern times), Albert Camus (The Stranger may be my #1 favorite book EVER) , Italio Calvino (He is sooo cool post-modernist I think, take Invisible Cities for instance), and Zadie Smith (anything she writes, lol).

I was a German major in college and did my master’s thesis on the relationship between Hegel’s dialectic and Hesse’s Siddhartha. I wanted to be a ‘world famous’ Hermann Hesse scholar until I did a hard analysis of the prospects and bailed on my doctoral degreee. I read Demian, but it was over 30 years ago and I must confess I don’t remember it…

I have a master’s in education but I really want to try for a PhD in Post Colonial Literature, English Department. Being a German major must have been a blast! :D
