Summary: Negrophobia
Review: I personally think James is a journalistic genius! The book was excellent. Anyone who gave this book a bad rating has his/her own issues about race relations. Darius James found an artistic way to define how we as individuals subconciously think and cope with regard to dealing with people of opposing races. This book is definitely a winner. I recommend this to everyone.

Summary: One of the funniest books ever written
Review: In one passage of Negrophobia, the rotting corpse of Malcolm X (referred to as "the rotting corpse of Malcolm X")does the "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show, and each occasion of "time warp" is replaced with "swine pork". This book is full of similar hilariously bloodthirsty satires. The humor is very offensive (to most races I can think of) and will have you either gasping in horror or rolling on the floor. The comedy value of this book is extraordinary, but there's much more to it as well: it is genuinely insightful, original and provoking when it comes to the philosophy and history of race relations in America.

Summary: Not a novel, but a boring illiterate screenplay
Review: Why is everyone calling Negrophobia a novel? It's not a novel, not even a novel "written in the form of a screenplay."It IS a screenplay. An unproduced screenplay. A screenplay with no story, no real characters. There's this white girl, Bubbles, about whom we learn nothing. The entire script is her stream-of-consiousess, a succession of surreal racial stereotypes. Negrophobia may have worked as a short story or short film, but its gets boring after 10 pages. The author makes one point: there are many ugly racial steroetypes out there. Okay, we get it after 10 pages. We get it after 40. But silll...nothing happens. No story develops. Just more stream of consciousness till the end.
