The Souls of Black Folk by W.E.B. Du Bois
5.0

Exactly the beautiful and heartbreaking read it is hailed to be. The most impactful chapters to me were the final two: The Coming of John, and The Sorrow Songs. But they were most impactful because of the cumulative, rolling narrative and the vivid, needful pictures Du Bois paints throughout the book. Each chapter is stand alone, but shouldn't be read alone.
