It tells the story of Bigger Thomas, a 20-year-old Black man living in utter poverty in a poor area on Chicago’s South Side in the 1930s. Thomas kills a White woman at a time when racism is at its peak. White not apologizing for Bigger’s crimes, Wright portrays a systemic causation behind them. The novel was an immediate best-seller. It made Wright the wealthiest Black writer of his time, established him as a spokesperson for African-American issues, and made him a prominent figure in Black American literature.
