Bro. I still need to do my deep dive for ap literature about this but UGH this was a PAGE TURNER. Richard Wright had me on the edge of my seat- asking my study hall teacher whether or not human bones would burn in a furnace 😠. Just a very good piece of literature although I can’t disagree with the feminist criticisms of how one dimensional some of the women were depicted compared to the men- but that’s a whole nother can of worms- this is a gem of realist societal criticism .
