This is a poignant story, a window into the world of a "Negro boy" growing up in the White college town of Williamstown in the 1920's and 30's. What I like most about the book is that it is from such a personal point of view. Oscar Greene's vivid memories of his boyhood bring us back with him to that time. As he encounters life, we witness his inner reactions to the events that affected him. This engages the reader and conveys more about what life was like back then than could be described otherwise. I highly recommend this book.
