native son is a great book.
it's not so hard to teach it.
the writing is quite clear and it does alot of work for you, if you're teaching.
o wait--theres a COMMUNIST in it that isn't dangling upside down from the nearest yardarm. and FAR worse than little johnny becoming gay is the possibility that little johnny will not agree with you politically and worse than that might run away to join the communist party of the late 1940s.
a real & present danger that.
