First read 09/2024

This sort of social/society drama isn't really my thing, and upon reflection I really wasn't in the mood for something so American. Still, it spiced up nicely at the end. Reminded me of Black No More, another Harlem Renaissance book. True to form, I preferred the speculative take.
