Lila Mae Watson - the first black female inspector in the world's tallest city - has the highest performance rating of anyone in the Department of Elevator Inspectors. This upsets her superiors, because Lila is an Intuitionist: she inspects elevators simply by the feelings she gets riding in them. When a brand new elevator crashes, Lila becomes caught in the conflict between her Intuitionist methods and the beliefs of the power-holding Empiricists.

Great Pace and Premise
Revisado: 10-11-23
I really liked the pace of this novel, it made it easy to read in just a few sittings. That being said, I felt that at times the story moved too fast and didn’t allow certain characters to fully develop over the pages. However, the premise of the story is great as it developed. Also, the story lacked some clarity at certain parts but that could be a stylistic choice of Whitehead to let the reader do some world building based on their own analysis.
Overall it was a great book I was just expecting a more spectacular climax. I would definitely read it again and probably will in the near future to see what things I missed. The racial allegory was supreme. One of the best debut novels that I’ve read.

In this powerful, edgy, and funny debut novel about making right and wrong choices, Bump gives us an unforgettable and lovable protagonist, Claude McKay Love. Claude is a young black man in search of a place where he can fit; born on the South Side of Chicago, he is raised by his civil rights-era grandmother, who tries to shape him into a principled actor for change. After a riot consumes his neighborhood, Claude decides to escape Chicago for another place, to go to college, to find a new life and identity. But he discovers, there's no escaping the people and places that made him.

Amazing Read

Bump is able to capture something special here. He paints a picture of what it’s like to be black in America through a multidimensional lens while capturing the importance of family when one comes of age. A great read that is sure to make you laugh and cry.
