Download Description
<I>Black Boy,</I> an autobiography of the author's boyhood, explores the theory of human behavior determined by environment. Richard Wright's novel is profoundly American by being a distinctly African-American chronicle. <P>What makes the book unique is its tone, which is that of the blues, both lyrical and ironic, and yet purely tragic.<P>(Please note: this book does not cover Wright's <I>American Hunger,</I> the 1977 sequel to <I>Black Boy.</I>)
Reader Reviews
When I read this book for the first time in nineth grade, I thought this book was really boring because the author kind of put too many descriptions. But once I understood what the story was about and kind of accept the fact that he included a lot of details, I really liked the book. Infact, I actually liked the descriptions that he wrote. Because of this book, I was motivated to write a twenty page autobiography for my english class. Now I am a senior in high school and I have just decided to read this book all over again, and I find it even more interesting now because I understood it even more. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves to read about the history of African Americans. I hope more high school students will read this book because it is a well-written book. Thank you.
