Yul Quotes in Erasure
“The line is, you’re not black enough,” my agent said.
“What’s that mean, Yul? How do they even know I’m black? Why does it matter?”
“We’ve been over this before. They know because of the photo on your first book. They know because they’ve seen you. They know because you’re black, for crying out loud.”
“What, do I have to have my characters comb their afros and be called niggers for these people?”
“It wouldn’t hurt.”
I was stunned into silence.
