Can a White Author Write Black Characters?

Michael Chabon dice di sì e lo dimostra nel suo ultimo romanzo, Telegraph Avenue (Harper), "The book is a sprawling narrative about the intertwined lives of Archy Stallings and Nat Jaffe, two proprietors, one black and one white, and a used vinyl store trying to survive on the shifting, gentrifying frontier between hippie-dippy Berkeley and its neighbor, the historically black enclave of Oakland". slate.
