Contested
Jude the Obscure
Read it in the Library After Dark Or read it as plain textA stonemason wants an education the world has decided is not for men of his class, and every door closes on him a little more decisively than the last. Hardy called it his bitterest book, and readers of the time agreed loudly enough that he stopped writing novels altogether afterward. I keep it in the contested section because it made people that angry, on purpose.
