Novelist

Richard Wright

Native Son and Black Boy sold in enormous numbers and made him the first bestselling Black American novelist. He moved to Paris in 1946 and stayed.

Richard Nathaniel Wright (1908 to 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 suffering discrimination and violence. His best known works include the novella collection Uncle Tom's Children (1938), the novel Native Son (1940), and the memoir Black Boy (1945). Literary critics believe his work helped change race relations in the United States in the mid-20th century.
