BACK OF BOOK:
"This new edition gives us a Native Son in which the key line in the key scene is restored to the great good fortune of American letters. The scene as we now have it is central both to an ongoing coversation amoung African-American writers and critics and to the consciousnes amoung all American readers of what it means to live in a multiracial society in which power splits amoung racial lines." Jack Miles, LA Times
Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed to jail. It could have been for the assault or petty larceny; by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story 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 1930's, Wright's powerful novel is an unsparing reflection of the poverty and feelings of hopelessness experienced by people in the inner cities across the country and of what it means to be black in America.
