Bit of an obvious choice, but I read it when I was 11 and it haunts me and delights me still: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings. I saw Maya Angelou lecture in Sheffield in the 90s. Wonderful and naughty and graceful and wise

Bait choices, but Zora Neale Hurston’s “Their eyes we’re watching God” and Maya Angelou’s “I Know why the Caged Bird Sings” were my gateways into African American literature and I love both these books and authors still.

I read Black Boy by Richard Wright when I was in school when I was 13 and it made a big impression on me.

Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison. I read it a long time ago, but I still think about the beginning and end scenes of that book often. Also, recently, The Underground Railroad, by Colaon Whitehead, which I loved too.
