The Day of the Locust
Nathanael West"I read [Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust] when I was young, and my admiration fueled my ambition to be a writer. It is funny, wicked, satirical, and wholly in the American grain." -Paul Theroux https://t.co/jOvJTHaSCe

Giovanni's Room
James Baldwin"Giovanni’s Room is one of my all-time favorites by James Baldwin, a master of deconstructing the American character and social temperature during an era in which novels that explored race and queer love were few and far between, at best." -Kehinde Wiley https://t.co/BlhZx5Z9cf
