You have just been hit by Ishmael Reed, one of the most prolific black writers of the latter half of the 20th century. Part cultural detective, part bloodhound, part trickster, the Oakland resident's 30-year career has been a roller coaster ride of both accolades and literary antagonisms.
Twice nominated for the National Book Award, once a finalist for the Pulitzer, and branded a "genius" by the MacArthur Foundation, Reed's books have incited radicals to label him a conservative and conservatives to paint him as a radical. He has written fiction, nonfiction, poetry, plays, and even penned blues songs that he performs with a band. All the while, Reed has taught English at U.C. Berkeley for the past 20 years.
