Book Hero thinking about your next read

“I LOVE this book, as a reader, and I always enjoy teaching it. In the midst of current conversations and conflicts (Black Lives Matter and the responses to it, for example), its importance as a truly ‘American’ novel only grows.”—Anita Guynn, University of North Carolina at Pembroke
