<\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n

A neglected tour de force by the first American to win the Nobel Prize in literature<\/a>, Kingsblood Royal<\/em> is a stirring and wickedly funny portrait of a man who resigns from the white race. When Neil Kingsblood a typical middle-American banker with a comfortable life makes the shocking discovery that he has African-American blood, the odyssey that ensues creates an unforgettable portrayal of two Americas, one black, one white.<\/p>\n

As timely as when it was first published in 1947, one need only open today\u2019s newspaper to see the same issues passionately being discussed between blacks and whites that we find in Kingsblood Royal<\/em>, says Charles Johnson. Perhaps only now can we fully appreciate Sinclair Lewis\u2019s astonishing achievement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
