Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass by Frederick Douglass

challenging dark emotional informative sad tense fast-paced

Douglass is one of the most talented writers I've ever had the pleasure of reading. I think taking this in in an academic setting diminished some of my stronger feelings about reading it, but my class also helped me really notice the intricacies of Douglass's language. I definitely want to come back to this at a later date, hopefully alongside another of his biographies for comparison!
