Finally writing the novels which family histories, personal experience (truck driver, TV news guy, English teacher, gov. official, tech marketeer), and travel (25 countries; 12yrs in Japan; 1970-73—Berkeley 2yrs, the South 1yr) have filled my head.

I am writing a historical novel set in the South during WW2. I have a white racist character use “N*****” a few times so the reader vicariously experiences a tiny amount of the hatred of the time and place, and for the purpose of eliciting his/her maximum sympathy for the black characters. Opinion?
