![]() ![]() Try this for a great combo: Listen to Native Son as an audio book while simultaneously reading Percival Everett’s Erasure. Yet, this was an historically important novel and may be worth reading for that reason alone. Although I am glad I listened to this, the last book was tedious, reducing the overall experience. The narration adds greatly to the experience. ![]() The narration was terrific, clear and subtly powerful. Somehow I think the novel would have been more powerful if this ended without third book. The first two books are artistically executed and powerful. This is true, but only true of the final book of the novel. ![]() Native Son has been criticized as being “protest fiction”, limiting its artistic value. The first two books of this novel, through character and story, made the points better than the exposition of the third book. The book then proceeds into the third book with a long question and answer dialog, and long monologs, reminiscent of Dostoevsky, but seemed too heavy handed to me. ![]() The first two books of this novel were quite excellent, a personal story that felt honest and impactful, with well-drawn characters and an exciting plot. Native Son, written in 1940, was ahead of its time, and represented an important voice in an age on the brink of change. ![]()
