This is one of the most impactful books I've ever read. The experiences are viceral and cut to the core. It's a hard but hopeful read, and I think everyone should experience it.

This is a staple to the genre of literature and the understanding of the era of American slavery. It's somewhat dense and not my favorite read, but definitely something that I was glad to read.

Read for African American Lit (Fall 2021) - wrote close reading paper on chapter 11 section. Found it to be an interesting narrative and have enjoyed the complications my teacher puts forth about it. Excited to read and discuss more works to cross reference and learn.
