Richard Wright-"Native Sons"-1940-Harper & Brothers-5 1/2" X 8 1/2"-359 pages-hardcover book-with jacket-Signed By Author.Richard Wright was born 4 September 1908 in Roxie, Mississippi, and died 28 November 1960 in Paris, France. One could sum up his life as a series of three stages: his youth in the South, his early career in the North (both Chicago and New York), and his expatriatism in France. In 1927, after years of family movements through the American South, Wright moved from Memphis to Chicago, where he would soon go to work in the post office, an experience he used in his novel Lawd Today!. In the early thirties, he began his literary career publishing poetry and short stories in such magazines as Left Front, Anvil, and New Masses. The success of Uncle Tom's Children in 1938 and Native Son in 1940 propelled Wright to international fame. In 1947, in reaction to the continued racism he encountered in America, Wright decided to move to France for an indefinite period. While in France, Wright took a growing interest in anti-colonial movements and also travelled extensively. In 1959, the year before his death, Wright made plans to move with his family to England. While his family managed to go ahead, Wright was delayed by visa problems. He died in France. The book has been autographed on the title page by Richard Wright with a fountain pen in blue. The autograph reads-"Sincerely Richard WRight"............BOTH BOOK AND AUTOGRAPH ARE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.JACKET HAS WEAR...............
