Lori Aurelia Williams Eric Dickey: Former comedian brings witty realism to L.A. novels INTERVIEW BY ALDEN MUDGE With the publication of Liar's Game , his fifth novel, Eric Jerome Dickey is being touted as "one of the original male voices in contemporary African-American fiction." It's a label Dickey seems inclined to ignore. "I hate to be pigeonholed," Dickey says. Besides, he enjoys the fact that his previous novels have attracted a broad and varied audience. "I get e-mails from people all over," he says, with evident pride. "From Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, whites. Yesterday this girl e-mailed me from Germany, saying she has a hard time getting my books, but when she gets them, she really likes them. She wrote me something like six pages!" Which is not to say that race or culture doesn't matter. Dickey uses a fast-paced, buoyant language that has occasionally given his copy editors conniptions. | |
