Early in the new year, browsing through the scads of "best books of 2020" lists that always appear in various publications, I was struck by a note from one critic, who said something to the effect of: "yes, it's 18 years old, but The Known World is still one of the best books you could possibly read."
So I tracked it down, and spent the next two months slowly reading it, and I can confirm that that critic was entirely correct.
I'll be thinking about The Known World, and about how deeply it's affected me, for many months and years to come.
