Abstract
ABSTRACT Breaking with traditional representation in African American literature, Randall Kenan portrays raw sexuality in “Cornsilk” in a brother’s romantic engagement with his sister over two years. Previous writers touched gingerly upon sexuality with Black characters, but Kenan foregrounds it. In so doing, he fills a gap in representation that has been visible for decades, yet the story has received little scholarly attention, a fact that needs redressing in serious literary studies.
