A review by elj_ne
The Man Who Lived Underground by Richard Wright
dark
reflective
medium-paced
4.5
This is an excellent classic full of allegory and suspense. The essay at the end was great in terms of contextualising the story and I really appreciated its inclusion in the book. The writing is great, and I felt very immersed in the environment of the story, though I'm not sure I fully 'enjoyed' reading it - it's a bit too dark and sad for that.
Graphic: Racism, Suicide, Torture, and Police brutality
Moderate: Child death and Death
