The Toni-Terry Problem with Black Books: A Conversation with Essence Bestsellers’ Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant (Moderated by Jacinta R. Saffold, co-sponsored by the Society of Fellows in Critical Bibliography and the Project for the History of Black Writing)
Bestselling co-authors Virginia DeBerry and Donna Grant consider how breakout authors like Toni Morrison and Terry McMillan came to define, and at times constrain, the field of popular African American literature, the impact of resources like the Essence Bestsellers’ List on their work, and the industry’s way forward.
