When discussing maximalist fiction here, a couple years ago some anon started posting about this 1000 page novel by a black writer that was about jazz or something set in the 40's or 70's.Does anyone remember the name of that novel?

Sounds like Divine Days by Leon Forrest
>>24986262Ever won a fight?
that sounds rad but it was probably albert murray's scooter trilogy at least that's what grok 4.1 thinks
>>24986257>>24986270Divine Days by Leon Forrest. It's been called the black "Ulysses" (J. Joyce). Interesting little note that the day before Divine Days was to be released to the general public, the warehouse caught fire and destroyed all the books except for 100 first edition Divine Days. University of Chicago Press printed a second edition immediately. So only 100 first printings of that book are known to exist.
>>24986478>Divine Days by Leon Forrestthis looks hella sick i wish i had the self-discpline to read a 1100 page book but i doubt it's gonna happen
>>24986491Allot the same time to read 50 pages each day. If you do this, you will finish Divine Days in 3.5 weeks. It is a self-discipline, I call it slow-motion binge-reading, but it does pay off when you want to really read good literature.
>>24986491If that bitch niga had something good to say he could've gotten er done in 110 pages bitchass
>>24986257Deeply unsettling .gif .
