CDMA asked this question about
Native Son:
I own both "Native Son" and his memoir, "Black Boy." Maybe this is a non-sequitur for a question due to the fact that it's all subjective, but I always appreciate an opinion or two.
Should I read "Native Son" first, or should I go ahead and start the memoir? What do you guys and gals think?
Forked Radish
I would read Native Son first. When in doubt, go in the chronological order of publication.
