Native Son by Richard Wright

i don't think i would get to it any time soon if not for finding this in a library considering the country and the city i live i'd call it unexpected at the very least. i'm so glad i did.
i still struggle to grasp how this book is almost 100 years old. i think this fact in resembles how the book itself made me feel. its ending is predetermined and enraging and disturbing yet this is a deeply hopeful narrative overall. occasionally i had to stop to think how much has changed and how everything is still the same and how some "rejected" sentiments are on the rise again. i was able to get through most of it distressed yet quite clear-minded but now it's all emotions i feel.. it was great
