Has anyone drawn parallels between Terry in Dopefiend and Melody in Snowfall? I’d love to read about it/listen to it

Book cover with a maroon border. The cover has a centered illustration of a man from the waist up holding onto two white bars. He is in shadows almost to the point of being a silhouette. Behind him on a black background are swops of color: yellow, earthy green-yellow, and deep orange. "DONALD" & "GOINES" are centered above and (the o, i & n in Goines) slightly behind the top of the man's fro. The letters are black block letters thickly outlined in white. Below the mans face, centered in smaller white block letters thickly outlined in maroon, are the words "WHITE MAN'S" + "JUSTICE," + "BLACK MAN'S" & "GRIEF". Centered beneath that in small white letters are the words "READ BY MIRRON WILLIS".

👍🏾 Ooooh weee: grit-teeeee! My FIRST #DonaldGoines book; been curious since he's a fellow #Detroiter & one of the foundational authors of #urbanfic genre. Engaging and I appreciated the smoothness of the social commentary.

The works of #DonaldGoines and #IceBergSlim gave a voice to the “people in the gutter” — the ones society didn’t (and still doesn’t) give a damn about.
