I was just recommended this author, G. A. Henty. So I look him up and he's described as "spectacularly racist". Um, why didn't you guys ever recommend him? Have you read any? What is his best work?
>>23825180i don't like racists
>>23825180I've only read Condemned as a Nihilist. I'm not sure if it was meant to be comical but I found it comical.
>>23825193I wasn't searching one out. But I was surprised to have never heard of him from here. Boys adventure stories by supreme racist seems like /lit/ would know about that. I guess they aren't high literature though.>>23825201Ok so I looked that up. Apparently it's a bit different from the usual. At least parts are supposed to be funny.
>>23825180>In the Preface to his novel A Roving Commission (1900) Henty claims "the condition of the negroes in Hayti has fallen to the level of that of the savage African tribes" and argues "unless some strong white power should occupy the island and enforce law and order" this situation will not change.Lmao, talk about being 100% right
