strange fruit uncelebrated narratives from black history

It explains exactly why I am cringing about this new bookonym situation. (I’m going to just bite my tongue right now about all the overt sexism in Jones’ artwork). Jones and Mark Waid, two white men, called Strange Fruit #1. One is an amazingly well-done anthology of African American history by Joel Christian Gill, a black man, called Strange Fruit, Volume I: Uncelebrated Narratives from Black History, and the other is a highly anticipated, yet already problematic (hello white gaze!), comic by J. The books that sparked this post, and the most painful bookonym situation I’ve encountered recently, are two graphic novels, both titled Strange Fruit. They both deal with race and both take their name from the Billie Holiday song.

I like to call these bookonyms, because, you know, homonym + book = bookonym. It could be even more confusing if what they actually meant to ask for was Italo Calvino’s If on a Winter’s Night a Traveler. Handing someone Mark Helprin’s Winter’s Tale when they wanted Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale will not make them happy (even if it is an excellent… and dense… book). Customer queries can get sticky if you don’t go in with this knowledge.
