This is, in my opinion, an important novel.

Do you think you might have these feelings and idea about this book beacuse of your background? I.e. do you think someone like me, from a rather different background would get as much out of the story? For one thing, I don't have a deep knowledge of American history or sensitivity to racial issues.
