The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead is an amazing fiction story that will make you angry and yet you will want to find out what happens to the two boys in the novel. And when you find out that the novel was based on real events, you will be angry again. 

Another novel that is an excellent read is An American Marriage by Tayari Jones. This may be the most popular one on the list and is still talked about today. Great writing is timeless and Jones is proof of that. The Milkman is also a novel that I see on many lists and recommend.
