What does it mean to be a "Black" writer? This week David is joined by James Izlar (@jcizlar) to discuss the 2023 Academy award winning film American Fiction (written and directed by Cord Jefferson) about a frustrated novelist who writes a satirical book based on racial stereotypes but is instead met with praise after it is mistaken for "serious" literature.
