This Month’s Book: Kingsblood Royal by Sinclair Lewis

A neglected tour de force by Sinclair Lewis,  the first American to win the Nobel Prize in literature, Kingsblood Royal (1947) 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. Available at libraries and who knows, maybe at a used book store near you.
