Abstract
Abstract:Focusing on Love Story Black, William Demby's 1978 novel, this article considers how it can be classified as part of what Pancho Savery calls the "Third Plane." Given that Demby's first novel Beetlecreek was published in 1950, while the other Third Plane artists' major works were first published in the late 1960s/early 1970s, Demby is not normally included in this group. Ultimately, I argue that Love Story Black shares many important features with other Third Plane books and should be counted among them, allowing for a reconsideration of Demby's later work as more contemporary and influential than has previously been recognized.
期刊介绍：
As the official publication of the Division on Black American Literature and Culture of the Modern Language Association, the quarterly journal African American Review promotes a lively exchange among writers and scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences who hold diverse perspectives on African American literature and culture. Between 1967 and 1976, the journal appeared under the title Negro American Literature Forum and for the next fifteen years was titled Black American Literature Forum. In 1992, African American Review changed its name for a third time and expanded its mission to include the study of a broader array of cultural formations.
