ISBN10: 0940450674, ISBN13: 9780940450677, [publisher: Library of America, New York] Hardcover First Edition FIRST PRINTING (stated) of this First Edition (thus) in this acclaimed series. A fine presentation of two of Wright's best later works dealing with race and race issues in America from the point of view of a black man who became radicalized but also disenchanted with the Communist Party, offering a view of life of poverty in pre-WW2 Chicago. This collection contains the full text of Wright's autobiographical 'Black Boy' including the controversial parts removed by previous editors - chronicling his attempts to excape poverty, ignorance, and fear in his native American south. 'The Outsider' is also here presented in full and with previous editorial cuts restored - a novel of a black man attempting to create a new life for himself, exploring themes of existentialism, freedom, and personal responsibility. Hardcover with dust jacket, contains chronological and textual notes, 887pp. A very nice copy, the jacket in a protective cover, tasseled, and with the usual ex-lib markings. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

ISBN10: 0940450674, ISBN13: 9780940450677, [publisher: The Library of America, New York] Hardcover Hardcover. Native Son and Black Boy are classics of twentieth-century American literatureand yet the novel and memoir known to millions of readers are in fact revised and abbreviated versions of the books Richard Wright wrote. The two-volume Library of America edition presents for the first time Wrights major works in the form in which he intended them to be read. The authoritative new texts, based on Wrights original typescripts and proofs, reveal the full range and power of this achievement as an experimental stylist and as a fiery prophet of the tragic consequences of racism in American society.Wrights wrenching memoir Black Boy, an eloquent account of his struggle to escape a life of poverty, ignorance and fear in his native South, was an immediate bestseller when it appeared in 1945. But Wrights complete autobiography, published for the first time in this volume as Black Boy (American Hunger), is a far more complex and probing work. Its original second section, in which Wright chronicled his encounter with racism in the North, his apprenticeship as a writer, and his disillusionment with the Communist Party, was cut at the insistence of book club editors and was only published posthumously as a separate work. Now that the two parts of Wrights autobiography are finally printed together, Black Boy (American Hunger) appears as a new and different worka unique ...
