Richard Wright Reader

An omnibus collection of the American writer's works includes selections from his essays, short stories, reviews, letters, and poetry and long excerpts from his novels and autobiography

"This fat omnibus volume, containing generous portions of Wright's fiction, nonfiction, journalism, and poetry, reintroduces to a new generation in convenient format a remarkable stylist, a passionate champion of justice, an early interpreter of black thoughts and attitudes, and probably the first major black novelist to achieve international fame" (LJ 1/15/78). Along with Wright's own text, this is buttressed with explanatory notes, biographical data, and a chronological bibliography of the author's works. For all collections.
