At this point I'm no longer hoping for any kind of redemption for Bigger but still very interested in finding out how this all ends.

My stomach is not in knots quite as much now, but the tension in the book remains. I have another idea about where it will go now. Perhaps very different from what I initially expected.

Lordy! Talk about tension! Set in 1940, Bigger is a 20-year-old black man who lands a job in a home as a chauffeur. He's wary to begin with because of the way blacks are treated by whites, and when he is faced with this family's more progressive ways he is confused and frightened. He makes decisions we don't want him to make and my stomach is tied up in knots. I keep reminding myself that it's fiction!
