Native Son by Richard Wright, 594 pages, literary fiction.
Wright's story of Bigger Thomas, a young black man with no prospects, set in 1930's Chicago really stands the test of time. Bigger commits a crime in the heat of the moment, and this crime, and his attempts to extricate himself from the situation, lead to his downfall. We had a great discussion about this iconic work for our February book group meeting.
