Bigger Thomas has grown up in Chicago's slums, reckless, angry and adrift.
A respectable job with the affluent Dalton family provides hope but sets him on course for a catastrophic collision between his world and theirs. Hunted by citizen and police alike, and baited by prejudiced officials, Bigger finds himself the cause célèbre in an ever-narrowing endgame.
First published in 1940, Native Son shocked readers with its candid depiction of violence and confrontation of racial stereotypes. It went on to make Richard Wright the first bestselling black writer in America.
'In addition to being a masterpiece, a Great American Novel' Guardian
'The most important and celebrated novel of Negro life to have appeared in America' James Baldwin
WITH AN AFTERWORD BY GARY YOUNGE

[Native Son] possesses an artistry, penetration of thought, and sheer emotional power that places it into the front rank of American fiction
"The most powerful American novel to appear since The Grapes of Wrath. . . so overwhelming is its central drive, so gripping its mounting intensity." - The New Yorker
"An enormously stirring novel. . . a story to trouble midnight and the noon's repose and to haunt the imagination." - New York Times
"The Library of America has ensured that most of Wright's major texts are now available as he wanted them to be read." - Alfred Kazin, New York Times Book Review
"A novel of tremendous power and beauty." - Newsweek
"There have only been two books in my life that have made me cry: the first 50 pages of Jane Eyre and the last 50 of Native Son. . . . Richard Wright's masterpiece is in the school of protest novel. . . Native Son taught me that it's all right to have passion within your work, that you don't need to shy away from politics in order to write fiction." - Gloria Naylor
"It's difficult to write temperately of a book which abounds in such excitement, in so profound an understanding of human frailty." - New York Herald Tribune
"For terror in narrative, utter and compelling, there are few pages in modern American literature that will compare with this story." - Saturday Review
"A powerfully blunt novel." - Washington Post
"This new edition gives us a Native Son in which the key line in the key scene is restored to the great good fortune of American letters. The scene as we now have it is central both to an ongoing conversation among African-American writers and critics and to the consciousness among all American readers of what means to live in a multiracial society on which power splits among racial lines." - Jack Miles, Los Angeles Times
