The novel takes place in the space of four days in the life of Bob Jones, a black man who is constantly plagued by the effects of racism. Living in a society that is drenched in race consciousness has no doubt taken a toll on the way Jones behaves, thinks, and feels, especially when, at the end of his story, he is accused of a brutal crime he did not commit. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"One of the most important American writers of the twentieth century . . .
