The Known World: A Slavery Thrillride!
Get the fuck outta the way Mrs. Beecher-Stowe! I've been reading The Known World, and I can enthusiastically say, it is THE MOST THRILLING SLAVERY NOVEL EVER WRITTEN. If you love slavery novels like I do, The Known World is a surefire hit. If this doesn't ramrod right to #1 on your personal Top 10 Slavery Faves of All Time, then your slavery palate is clearly underdeveloped. Maybe you need to enroll in Slavery 101.
If you lapped up the urbane comic genius of Letters of the Late Ignatius Sancho, an African and you devoured the explosive who-done-it mystery, Second Daughter, Story of a Slave Girl, then I just know this Pulitzer Prize winning slavery blockbuster, The Known World, will grip you by the balls and never let go!
I'm only 40 pages or so into it, but already, I can just tell. This exhilarating portrait of antebellum 1850's slavery is going to leave me completely sated. My love for slavery fiction is almost as limitless as my need for water or oxygen.
Run to your nearest slavery-themed bookseller for this chart topping page-turner!

what no colour purple or raisin in the sun?
I don't think Raisin in the Sun is about slavery!! But if it was it'd definitely be in my Top 10 Slaves Faves.
But April brings up a good corollary question--What happens to a dream deferred?
Have you tried Oroonoko? That one's the first slavery novel of all time.
