My daughter is reading this book for her Lit&Comp class. She's read excerpts to me. It's my opinion that Richard Wright was an early version of James Frey in that, he can tell a good story, but it smacks of embellishment.
He wrote it in 1945, giving a 37 yrs old man's insight into what he "experienced" as a boy.
I went thru some serious stuff as a kid, but I surely don't recall them as clearly as Wright does his own.
Anybody care to weigh in on this?
