What reading level is The Investigations of Avram Davidson book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
was first published in 1957, and won the Ellery Queen Award for best short fiction published that year.
It is considered one of Avram Davidson’s most important stories. The topic is American slavery. An early rejection letter for the story said, “I’m glad you sent it to me. But we couldn’t touch it because of its theme.” The irony of the story is that it takes no sides. It simply draws the legal consequences of slavery to their awful conclusion.
Davidson’s own story notes said, “Really, I have, ...in part, to thank Life magazine for first implanting in my mind a certain detail of the Slave Code on which this story is based. This detail came to my attention years later during my long research into the institution of slavery in the United States as background for a projected article on the Dred Scott decision. The research produced much that was new to me, all of it of course unpleasant: did you know, for instance that (I believe) numerous Free Negroes themselves owned slaves?—And it also produced this story.
