Is anybody else a fan of urban fiction such as that by the author K’wan?

I’m currently reading his debut novel “Gangsta,” and it’s an excellent crime fiction novel full of action, gritty dialogue, and intrigue. K’Wan in particular is a favorite of mine due to the Western influence his works tend to have, with triggermen being referred to as “gunslingers” and plenty of references towards cowboys and Western movies. I believe K’wan excels at analyzing the American Old West mythology to help readers understand the American reality (namely, the experience of Black Americans in the ghetto).

This isn’t exactly “highbrow” fiction, but it’s extremely fun and I don’t see much discourse here about this genre of literature. Granted, the audience that reads these books may not be the majority on Reddit, but I know a lot of people would appreciate gangster stories from the less organized side of things.

Eve was another excellent novel by K’wan.
