Bigger’s greatest crime (initially) was that he was a Black man in America.

Ughhhh I love this book!

This book is so layered! To have been written in the 1940s, it feels relevant and current. Richard Wright was really in his literary bag with this one. It’s like I’m reading a murder mystery, but I’m in the serial killer’s head. Am I an accomplice? Will he try to take me out next? This book is WILD and for a second read, I’m learning and relearning so much!
