“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.

A brilliant but slightly difficult read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 May 2018

It is apparently a rather far fetched story of a black teenager. However, as is pointed out in the introduction by the author, the aim of the book is more to reflect the situation of the black community in the inter-war years. The last section, "Fate" is particularly powerful and very political, though a little long winded at times.
In summary, I came to this book after reading "Black Boy" by the same author and I would recommend it if you like strong social comments in your novels.

A very good but emotionally harrowing read.

This book I could not put down and a seriously shocking, harrowing story. I appreciated the book from the time he wrote it and the experiences of others. It was well written and interesting. Even though I am still gobsmacked I felt that I connected to every one of the characters at that time.
