WRIGHT, RICHARD. Lawd Today.
Walker and Co., NY: 1963. Third Printing. h Hardcover with dustjacket. Reading copy. Libarary discard.
Posthumously published, Lawd Today was written before the publication of Native Son had established Richard Wright a a major novelist. Although different in setting and treatment, it displays the same harsh, unsentimental realism, the same fierce concern for the plight of the American Negro, as the later novel. Lawd Today traces a single heartbreaking day in the life of Jake Jackson, a postal clerk in depression-ridden Chicago. Jake is not an admirable man, not even a pleasant one, but before his nightmarish odyssey is done, the reader sees all too clearly that society has given Jake Jackson, like Bigger Thomas, no alternative.

WRIGHT, RICHARD; KINNAMON, KENETH (INTRODUCTION). The Long Dream.
Northeastern University Press, Boston: 2000. 1555534236 / 9781555534233 s Softcover. Brand new book.
In the powerful tradition of Native Son, Richard Wright's last novel is a stirring story of racial prejudice in the South. Now available in a new edition. Set in a small town in Mississippi, The Long Dream is a novel rich in characterization and plot that dramatizes Richard Wright's themes of oppression, exploitation, corruption, and flight. It is the story of Fishbelly (called Fish), the son of Tyree Tucker, a prominent black mortician and owner of a brothel whose wealth and power were attained by forging business arrangements with corrupt white police officers and politicians. The riveting narrative centers on the explosive and tragic events that shape and alter the relationship between Fish and his father. "A surging, superb book that closely examines the anatomy of southern racial prejudice and reveals some awful truths. In the process, [Wright] has given us a social document of unusual worth. . . This book is not for the squeamish. Wright's catalog of lynching, police brutality, meanness, and emotion running riot in a small town is calculated to disturb even the most callous. This story, balanced by Wright's compassion for his people, is an experience of almost nightmarish quality." ÑRoi Ottley, Chicago Sunday Tribune

Cross Damon was bound by debt to a job he hated and bound by past promises to a wife and a mistress he no longer loved. But suddenly he had the rarest of opportunities-the chance to begin anew.
