Pickpick

One of those novels about a horrible man being horrible which are so popular. Not my favorite genre.

Think this brings it to a total of two I've liked (also Babbit).

Very rich and covers a lot of topics, partically racial issues. Heavy on the theme of crabs in a bucket. Jake punches down verbally and physically when he can. Lots of scams.

Very underread - not published in Wright's lifetime. Tbh think maybe the world wasn't ready for it.

Ruthiella I‘ve only read Native Son which is still controversial I think. Wright pushed boundaries! 4y
