I can’t believe I’ve waited this long to pick up this masterpiece. As a fan of INVISIBLE MAN, this book is definitely the original masterpiece to inspire future seminal works from authors of color. Super accessible and extremely profound, and absolutely applicable a century after its first publishing.
