Author Donald Goines Becomes a Pop-Culture star Half a Century after his Violent Death

[Jean toomer]

nikkas used to steal them shyts like lighters, source magazines, and clue tapes.

Only book I literally had to hide from nikkas besides Goines was The Destruction of Black Civilization

Chapter X: white devils from the west


this was my bible in high school.
Need to reread those Goines books.

Bruh u ain’t lying I was 22 and snorting dust when I read dope fiend and that was the first time I felt like a J. I put the book down 3-4 times bc it felt like a personal attack.

I feel like Dr. X was the Donald Goines of Thecoli


Shame we kill our greats

Dopefiend is one of the best book that I ever read. With the right director and actors and actresses, someone can make a classic film out of Dopefiend.

 

[NoCones]

Greatest novelist of all time.

better than mosley?

A lot of his books would make great movies. Crime Partners and Never Die Alone are dope ass films.

Black Girl Lost, Cry Revenge, Daddy Cool should be adapted into films

I love them both tbh

Mosley is more entertaining and humorous but Goines writes that shyt that hits all the way to the bone marrow.

My favorite author… Picked up Dopefiend back in 90’ and had to read everything I could. Over the last 30 years I found original 1st prints of everything. Only one I don’t have a true 1st print is Never Die Alone. Glad to have kept these in pretty good shape. Saw an asking price of $600 for Dopefiend not too long ago.
