[aisle] Brit Lit BIPOC authors

[MaryAnne Confer]

Lauren,

I highly recommend Zadie Smith for Brit lit, especially her book White
Teeth.

This article from The Guardian has some helpful suggestions of how to
diversify the Cannon. It also includes some American authors, but it’s
worth a read for ideas:

Hope this helps,

MaryAnne Confer
