In the history of Richard Wright, perhaps more than with other writers, a knowledge of what he actually read, and of what authors he preferred, is essential in explaining his intellectual development. This bibliography of his library and reading serves as a key to understanding the development, philosophies, and aesthetics of this great writer.

Richard Wright, the Mississippi-born black writer, saw himself as "an outsider between two cultures," a man searching. In these twelve essays, Michel Fabre follows Wright's search in an investigation of the novelist's life and career. Not originally intended as a collection, these essays underscore Wright's literary and intellectual development.
