[David Eric Smith]

How about that.  I should not have forgotten the sourcing of that passage then.

And the thing I was thinking about was not a novel, but a play:

which I remember as having trouble because offense was taken that a white playwright had no business writing about a black protagonist.  I think it was out for several years before people were willing to perform it. Let me check:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stonemason <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Stonemason>
yes.  15 years.
