Richard Wright The Life and Times

"[Wright's] was an epic journey, and Radcliffe scholar Hazel Rowley describes it in gripping fashion in her new biography. If her book is often a bit short on analysis and interpretation of motives and events, it is long on sheer narrative momentum. Thorough and engrossing from the first page to the last, Rowley's is the best biography of this towering and tormented author since Michel Fabre's brilliant 1973 study, THE UNFINISHED QUEST OF RICHARD WRIGHT.Rowley, Hazel is the author of 'Richard Wright The Life and Times' with ISBN 9780805070880 and ISBN 0805070885.
