Softcover in Good Condition From the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for jail. It might have been for petty crime; by chance, it was for murder and rape. He was a "nigger" in a white man world, and his crimes horrified the whole of Chicago. Caught up by forces he could neither understand nor control, Bigger found a sense of freedom and identity in acts of violence. NATIVE SON has captured, as no other novel has, the powerful emotions and suffering, the frustrations and yearnings, the restlessness and hysteria, of all the Bigger Thomases. Richard Wright's gripping novel has become a classic; it is dramatic, unsentimental, and uncompromisingly realistic. Show more
