Richard Wright's Black Boy (American Hunger): A Casebook by Douglas Taylor
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I just finished (in two evenings) an earlier version of this book, which I picked up from the library. Interestingly, I just realized I probably got the short version of the book. So I bought this one. I didn't even know that Wright had been compelled to publish a version that only included the first two-thirds of his original manuscript. Wright's prose is compelling, no matter how fictionalized this "autobiography" is -- he certainly is able to communicate his message and elicit the desired response.
