NYTBL suggests Blacks love church scandal more than faith
Three African American Authors sit on the New York Times Bestseller's List this week. Although my writing cronies applaud this feat, I question its deeper meaning. As I read which books made the list I see a peculiar similiarity, two of the books premise concerns black ministers with dirty secrets. Now I know scandal sells, but I wonder does christianity do as well?

Sons of Norway in The Bingo Palace
Although I have a tendency to talk about Norwegian culture as it if were some distinctly bounded thing, this is more an accident of rhetoric than actual division. In fact, while recently reading Louise Erdrich’s novel The Bingo Palace,I was reminded of this fact when I ran headfirst into a passage about the Sons of Norway. In the context of Erdrich’s complex treatment of authenticity, purity, and American Indian identity, her reference to the Sons of Norway both startled and allured me. What place did a Norwegian-American fraternal society have in a novel about Native-American life?
