Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

kerisreads's review against another edition
4.5
Told in alternating matter-of-fact prose and passionately emotional poetry, it's no wonder Douglass played such an instrumental role in the abolition of American slavery.
As I read, I imagined reading this as a 19th century white American previously unacquainted with specifics of the manifold evils of southern slavery.... Phew.
A must-read indeed. You'll weep, but be the better for it.
