The novel reveals Dunbar's genuine effort to show the forces that prevented black America

iteration.

The Sport of the Gods, Dunbar's major achievement in fiction, was reviewed in the leading newspapers and magazines across the country. Some critics called the story powerful and poignant reality, full of strength, vigor, and timelessness; yet, a few, such as the Minneapolis Tribune reviewer, regretted that Dunbar, "whose exquisite darkey stories have delighted the nation, should employ his strength with prose of the sort" found in the book. The New York Times reviewer said the New York scenes were the work's strongest part and called the "delineations of the southern gentleman" its weakest. The novel is widely considered to be the first major protest novel by a black American writer and the first significant novel to describe the life of blacks in Harlem.
