The 2-volume LOA edition presents for the first time Wright's major works in the form in which he intended them to be read. The authoritative new texts, based on Wright's original typescripts & proofs, reveal the full range & power of this achievement as an experimental stylist & as a fiery prophet of the tragic consequences of racism in American society. Wright's wrenching memoir "Black Boy", an eloquent account of his struggle to escape a life of poverty, ignorance & fear in his native South, was an immediate bestseller when it appeared in 1945. But Wright's complete autobiography, published for the first time in this volume as "Black Boy" ("American Hunger") is a far more complex & probing work. Its original 2nd section, in which Wright chronicled his encounter w/ racism in the North, his apprenticeship as a writer, & his disillusionment w/ the Communist Party, was cut at the insistence of book club editors & was only published posthumously as a separate work. Now that the 2 parts of Wright's autobiography are finally printed together, "Black Boy" ("American Hunger") appears as a new & different work: a unique contribution to the literature of self-discovery & a searing vision of racism in Northern slums as well as Southern shanties. Richard Wright's novel "The Outsider" (1953) appears here in a text that restores the many stylistic changes & long cuts made by his editors w/o his knowledge. This text, based on Wright's final, corrected typescript, casts new light on his development of the style he called "poetic realism". The "outsider" of Wright's story is Cross Damon, a black man who works in the Chicago post office. When Damon is mistakenly believed to have died in a subway accident, he seizes the opportunity to invent a new life for himself. In this, his most philosophical novel, Wright reconsiders the existentialist themes of man's freedom & responsibility as he traces Damon's doomed attempts to lead a free life. Richard Wright was "forged in injustice as a sword is forged", wrote Ernest Hemingway. W/ passionate honesty & courage, he confronted the terrible effects of prejudice & intolerance & created works that explore the deepest conflicts of the human heart. This volume includes notes on significant changes in Wright's texts & a detailed chronology of his life. * ABOUT THE EDITOR: Arnold Rampersad is Sara Hart Kimball Professor in the Humanities at Stanford University. He has written biographies of Langston Hughes (a Pulitzer Prize nominee), Jackie Robinson, &, most recently, Ralph Ellison. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts, restoring America's literary heritage in "the finest-looking, longest-lasting edition ever made."
