How to Make Love to a Negro Without Getting Tired

I was asked to review this book, and I was really thinking it was going to be kind of like instruction or a manual or something like that. That is so not the case. I agree that it is brilliant!!These two black men are living in a run down apartment. They are visited by various white women. They all have names like "miz beauty" or "miz literature". I loved the different names they came up with. It's better than just saying a normal name. The names they give show a better picture of the women they are with.Finally, a book that isn't all serious! This book was so hilarious! If you are looking for a serious book about how to make love, this isn't it!!! Even though it isn't actually a manual on the act of making love, it can get pretty explicit."Miz Beauty does not speak. You've got to discover her erogenous zones, her favorite subjects of conversation, her sign, all on your own. Meanwhile, Miz Piggy's coming like an express train. She doesn't get it every day. And she's hell-bent to make the most of it. She wants more, more, more."' Dany Laferrière, How to Make Love to a Negro"Making love to a Negro isn't frightening; sleeping with him is. Sleep is complete surrender. It's more than nude; it's naked. Anything can happen during the night, when reason sleeps."' Dany Laferrière, How to Make Love to a NegroI highly recommend this book! Enough of all the serious books, pick up How to Make Love to a Negro Without Getting Tired and prepare yourself for laughter!CherylBlack Diamond's Book Reviews

I worked with a red-neck Alabama racist bully who had a propensity for saying things that he thought insulted African-Americans. One day when he got started again in front of some co-workers I interrupted him momentarily- telling him I had a present for him. That's when I went to my office, returned with this book and- holding it in a manner where everyone standing there could barely glimpse the title- I said to him, "I heard you say your daughter's birthday was coming up; why don't you give her this to help her during college."

Im only on the first chapter and I'm intrigued. I started a book club with my sisters and this will be the first book we read. I saw this book on a Spike Lee Joint and thought it would be great for the list. Cant wait to dive all the way in!

I did not like this book at all. The author made a point of referring to numerous Jazz musicians, famous poets and writers; in addition to various passages out of the Koran. The problem comes in the no# of times he does this. I would guess that a good 25% of the book is spent writing the names of famous artists for no reason other than to use page space. Also, there is no flow to the story. It appears to be writings of specific incidents (real or imagined) told in overly dramatic fashion in an effort to impress the reader with the authors vocabulary and wit. I can honestly say this is the worst Kindle purchase to date.

Might be uncomfortable to carry the hard book, because of the title but good to have as e-book. The book is a bit explicit on sex and adulthood but I enjoy reading it regardless. It’s improve my perspective about race, it doesn’t promote hate, and take side. I recommend to read this book, just to enjoy and increase your persecutive and understand of interaction/relation between difference race.

Let's be honest, this is a hard book to carry around in public, hence the kindle is the ideal format for reading! I had previously read Americanah, and this, though much briefer and rawer, offers the same outsider look at a culture. It is funny, engaging, and enlightening. It feels very modern although there are a few reminders that this was written more than 30 years ago.It was a book group selection and I approached it with hesitation, it wouldn't have been my choice. After reading it...I've recommended it!

A funny book all the way around! Shout out to She's Gotta Have It! Its an amazing read!

Love reading this at times ascerbic take on early American history.A beat poet style romp through black history and of what it might have been like to live during that time.As a woman who's lived as an artist and a musician and been involved with the jazz idom, it bought back memories of the type of lifestyle those of us with a free and bohemian attitude strive for.By those associations I had many out loud snorting with laughter moments.This does not mean the seriousness of the slave trade era is forgotten, nor that it should be, however, the 'realness' of Dany LaFerrière's journey is insightful and I for one am truly glad I read this book.

The narrator of Dany Laferrière's novel is a black man who spends much of his time and effort in seducing white women, specifically English-speakers in Montreal's bilingual community. He mantains there is a hierarchy of pleasure, with white men at the top, who love white women, then white women to take pleasure from black men (and finally, I suppose, black women who get no pleasure at all). Instead of refuting racist stereotypes, this book deliberately plys up to them, not with the aim of reinforcing them, but in order to subvert them. It is a very funny if occasionally disconcerting read.

An interesting take on interracial sex and Race from the perspective of a black man. I’d have loved to see how sexual interactions with black women had been affected for him and Bouba! That was an element missing for me😌.Please recommend interracial relationship based books from a black woman’s perspective! Or even race in general.

Beautifully written, satirical and sarcastic to its core. I recommend this book wholeheartedly as a black man in the 21st Century. If you're curious, as you rightfully should be, read it!
