Wright, Richard. Early Works: Lawd Today!, Uncle Tom’s Children and Native Son. Edited by Arnold Rampersad. New York, Literary Classics of the United States, Inc., 1991. 12.5 x 20.5cm. 936 pages. Original clothbound hardcover with silk pagemarker in protective slipcase. Excellent condition, as new. [The Library of America, No. 55]. Richard Wright was “forged in injustice as a sword is forged,” wrote Ernest Hemingway. With passionate honesty and courage, he confronted the terrible effects of prejudice and intolerance and created works that explore the deepest conflicts of the human heart. This Library of America edition presents for the first time Wright’s works in the form in which he intended them to be read. The authoritative new texts, based on Wright’s original typescripts and proofs, reveal the full range and power of his achievement as an experimental stylist and as a fiery prophet of the tragic consequences of racism in American society. The volume includes notes on significant changes in Wright’s text and a detailed chronology of his life. [Library of America]
