A challenging but rewarding literary achievement. I won’t pretend I tracked every idea as it veered from campus farce to Southern nightmare to urban political satire, stopping along the way to debate the value of protest, tease intra-party pettiness, even dance with the charged world of interracial sexuality. This book has so much to say that’s as relevant today as it was in the 1940s(!) — even if I could use a college seminar to help unpack it all.
