Official synopsis Publisher
“Wright’s unrelenting bleak landscape was not merely that of the Deep South, or of Chicago, but that of the world, of the human heart,” said James Baldwin, and here, in these powerful stories, Richard Wright takes readers into this landscape one again. “Eight Men” presents eight stories of black men living at violent odds with the white world around them. As they do in his classic novels, the themes here reflect Wright’s views on racism and his fascination with what he called “the struggle of the individual in America.”
