In its Best of MN 2023, Minnesota Monthly chose The Stories Whiteness Tells Itself as the Best Nonfiction Book--"a tough but necessary read for anyone who opposes racial oppression" minnesotamonthly.com/arts-entertain…

@chillsatwillpo1 Yes. Other Roth I'd recommend: The Ghost Writer, The Human Stain & The Counterlife.

What does everyone think? Is this a good pick for first Roth read?
