Lorraine Hansberry: The Life Behind A Raisin in the Sun by Charles Shields

I found the Lorraine Hansberry bio to be solid, a bit workmanlike, with not much illumination, except that I imagine that her husband Robert Nemiroff was a right shit and that her family's involvement in slum real estate in Chicago was even more complicated than it appears. I wouldn't have minded a little editorializing on the part of the biographer Charles Shields one bit.

That said, it was informative and interesting. Just not compelling.

I received this as part of the Library Thing Early Reviewers program.
