If you haven't read Sinclair's work, you're missing out. Coffee Will Make You Black has been mentioned here before because it's a well-written, funny, charming and heartfelt coming of age story. I have a copy with Sinclair's signature bought at Denver's (now-Harlem's) Hue-Man Experience Book Store, that I cherish. And am looking forward to her fourth novel!
Thanks to author Bernice McFadden for the link to Sinclair's essay. (And look for an upcoming Q&A with McFadden here soon.)

I love love love April Sinclair and I too have signed copy of Coffee Will Make YOu Black that I cherish. I'm off to read her the piece.
Thanks for the link. I didn't realize how much I missed her writing!
I love April Sinclair and her work. I have about three of her books. I actually just brought them in the last year. I use to own a signed copy of Coffee Will Make You Black that was a gift.
It's sad to see she is struggling.
