dialect in novels

[Arnold Zwicky]

i have an undergraduate student who's looking for a novel
in which aave is represented ineptly, by someone (white or
black) from outside aave-speaking communities.  ideally,
a fairly recent novel, with an urban setting (this is so
the student can take advantage of knowing about the variety
in modern urban settings).  this is a small project, so
even short stories or journalism might do; it's not like
the student will be doing statistics on the data - just
getting a qualitative feel for it.

any suggestions?
