“If one had to identify the single most influential shaping force in modern Black literary history, one would probably have to point to Wright and the publication of Native Son.” – Henry Louis Gates Jr.
Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of 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 1930s, Richard Wright's powerful novel is an unsparing reflection on the poverty and feelings of hopelessness experienced by people in inner cities across the country and of what it means to be black in America. This edition--the restored text of Native Son established by the Library of America--also includes an essay by Wright titled, How "Bigger" was Born, along with notes on the text.
Richard Nathaniel Wright (September 4, 1908 – November 28, 1960) was an American author of novels, short stories, poems, and non-fiction. Much of his literature concerns racial themes, especially related to the plight of African Americans during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, who suffered discrimination and violence in the South and the North. Literary critics believe his work helped change race relations in the United States in the mid-20th century.

主人公的心理描写太细致入微,看的时候心跟着紧张难受,每每到了关键时刻,都得缓缓才敢继续去读,有点不敢面对即将要出现的事情结果。很可怕但是又很可悲的故事。后补充,读完让我想到了一点,语言真的太强大了,舆论方向不就是靠媒体煽动的吗,正还是反都是靠一张嘴,广大民众没有判断力的
评分看得筋疲力尽的
评分???看完真的满脸问号......因为被歧视就可以强奸可以杀人了吗
评分小说写得非常棒,几乎是一气呵成地听完。作者对人物内心的描写非常细腻,几位人物刻画得栩栩如生。对生活和白人行为的讽刺字里行间带过,但是却让人感到触目惊心。
评分seminar上试着用黑格尔的主奴辩证法解释了一下,成功地唬住了同学们,使他们纷纷装作认真记笔记的样子(。
