Fiction
Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been headed for
jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by
chance, it was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the
story of this young black man caught in a downward spiral
after he kills a young white woman in a brief moment of
panic. Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Wright's powerful novel
is an unsparing reflection on the poverty and feelings of
hopelessness experienced by people in inner cities across
the country and of what it means to be black in America.
