This is fine, sound, good, honorable writing rich with insight and understanding, even when occasionally twisted by sorrow' New York TimesHunted by the police for a crime he didn't commit, a man turns to the sewers and a life underground.
Struggling to get work, another turns to wearing his wife's clothes in a desperate last attempt. Finding himself the object of derision, yet another man buys a gun only to discover its true power.
Here are Richard Wright's stories of eight men - black men, living at violent odds with the white world around them.
