4.0
I feel like I would benefit from reading this book with other people and having others to talk about it with. With the accompanying essay about Wright’s grandmother, that helped some, and having already read Black Boy, that also helps to give me context, but there is obviously a lot going on in this, a lot of symbolism, that probably just went right over my head. I also didn’t particularly like the audiobook narrator? But that’s probably just me. Anyway, overall, incredible. Very important book.
