Good use of dialect?
There are a few books or short stories I've read that lean into showcasing characters' dialects and accents.
Some examples:
- Tantie Merle and the Farmhand 4200 (Trini Creole)
- Sorcerer of the Wildeeps by Kai Ashante Wilson (multiple registers of AAVE)
- Black Water Sister by Zen Cho (Malaysian English)
Any other books and authors that do this well? What I like about those three is how they sound natural and read easily to me, despite not being fluent in any of the dialects.
