Book Reviews of Richard Wright : Early Works : Lawd Today! / Uncle Tom's Children / Native Son (Library of America)
Book Review: Black Boy is incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
I've only read the first part of Black Boy, the part dealing with Wright's life in the south, but it is so incredibly moving that I had to say something now before I proceed with the rest of this book and move on to the other Library of America book and possibly others by Wright.
I've read several other books, fiction and nonfiction about life in the south during Jim Crow times, but never anything so real and immediate and moving. i recommend this book without reservation. I would love to see a review here by a black man my ago or so (I'm 59) to hear his opinions or insights on this book, not to get the final word on black opinion but to be goaded deeper into the reality that this book reveals. Please read it.
