A Different Drummer by William Melvin Kelley
4.0
4.5
Unreasonably underread. A debut with great depth and a shocking amount of hope for a developing America. Incredible use of perspective. Kelley's cast is predominantly white, and they never get off easy for their transgressions, but there are also liberals who both try to be better while still receiving critique. I finished this two days ago and have kept thinking about it but am unsure how to encapsulate my thoughts. Highly recommend.
