The Expendable Man

It was a solid read. I found it really authentic,and it was based on more protagonist's inner monologues than plots,which I found intriguing.
Here are some memorable lines;
・He understood and he appreciated but he didn't tell her so.Because he couldn't accept the intimacy which was rising between them. He couldn't endure the knowing it must lead to nothing, no more than the finality of a good-bye, it's been fun knowing you.
・The windows were painted black.Here and again on them were vivid scratches, as if the inmates had,in a sudden attack of claustrophobia,clawed a glimpse of a cleaner world outside.
It was published in around 1965 and behind this novel was racial issues, which reminds me of the novel,A Time to Kill by John Grisham.
