Don Belton Biography

Don Belton is one of the most popular and richest Author who was born on August 7, 1958 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States.

Donald Cornelius Belton (August 7, 1956 – December 27, 2009) was an openly homosexual African-American author, editor and teacher.

In 1986 Belton’s first novel, Almost Midnight was published by Beech Tree Books. Almost Midnight has been described as a “magical tale” chronicling the life of a preacher through the recollections of three women. W. Lawrence Hogue describes the novel as having been misunderstood by mainstream critics at the time of its publication and that Almost Midnight, like other novels Montgomery’s Children by Richard H. Perry or Darryl Pinckney’s High Cotton, did not fit the “aesthetic, political, and ideological criteria” of the canon of African American literature at the time. Critics have recently begun to consider Almost Midnight as a voodoo or hoodoo novel.
