Is this a book that is pro or anti slavery. I really have no idea and there much been written on it. Definitely of it's time and love or loathe part of American fiction history.
Should definitely come with trigger warnings as so much racist language. An infanticide account of slavery at times, mocking or a clever critique?
Read it certainly but go in with your eyes open and prepare to be shocked as you should be. And definitely read James by Percival Everett.
