I JUST HAVE TO TELL SOMEBODY!!!!
I haven't been as touched by a writer's books since I was in college and first read Toni Morrison and Gloria Naylor.
KOLA BOOF is the writer and she is ......un-describable.
The woman's voice is like her spirit and her beauty--Phenomenal!
I just finished "Flesh and the Devil", her brilliant
BLACK love story that was translated into English by Egypt's great Poet Said Musa.
I also read and loved her short story collection "Long Train to the Redeeming Sin: Stories About African Women", which was firebombed a few years ago by Arabs in North Africa and forced out of print. After that, I read her poetry collection "Nile River Woman"---which is fiery and powerful.
Over at AMAZON.COM they have "excerpts" from her books that you can read to get a taste of what I'm saying.
I just cannot praise and holler about this woman's books enough. Every black woman who calls herself a real true sister should be reading these books. This woman is the REAL deal. I love her books!!!
Here is her web site:

Check out her books. Especially the love story "Flesh and the Devil". It's the most beautiful, sexually exciting, mysical, magical story of BLACK lovers that I have ever read!!!!!
