Synopsis :

Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of this young black man caught in a downward spiral after he kills a young white woman in a brief moment of panic. Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Wright's powerful novel is an unsparing reflection on the poverty and feelings of hopelessness experienced by people in inner cities across the country and of what it means to be black in America.

À propos de l?auteur:

The author of numerous works, he stands today as one of the greatest American writers of the twentieth century. Black Boy and his novel Native Son are required reading in many high schools and colleges across the nation. Wright died in 1960 in Paris, France.
