Richard Nathaniel Wright (September 4, 1908 – November 28, 1960) was an American author of novels, short stories, poems, and non-fiction. Much of his literature concerns racial themes, especially related to the plight of African Americans during the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, who suffered discrimination and violence in the South and the North. Literary critics believe his work helped change race relations in the United States in the mid-20th century.
“If one had to identify the single most influential shaping force in modern Black literary history, one would probably have to point to Wright and the publication of Native Son.” – Henry Louis Gates Jr.
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, Richard 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. This edition--the restored text of Native Son established by the Library of America--also includes an essay by Wright titled, How "Bigger" was Born, along with notes on the text.

在我目前以看過的美國黑人文學的書籍中,這本1940年齣版的《土生子》算的上是最近也是最晚看的一本書,書作者查理德.賴特改變瞭很多人長久以來心目中‘斯托夫人’筆下《湯姆叔叔的小屋》的黑人形象。 在《土生子》這本書裏,黑人主角不在是一個被白人宗教麻醉思想...
評分故事剛開始就展現齣美國黑人的社會生活:彆格·托馬斯一傢四口同住在一個狹小房間裏,兩張床占去房間的大半;兄弟倆閤睡一張床,母女倆閤睡另一張床,每次母女倆要起床穿衣,得先叫兩個男孩子扭過頭去。繼而作者栩栩如生地描繪瞭彆格殺死耗子的場景,既反映瞭黑人的貧睏生活,...

評分賴特深受德萊塞的影響,這本書可以看做是美國的悲劇的緻敬之作。同樣是真實謀殺案改編,在賴特之前的黑人文學雖然也控訴社會的不平等,種族主義,賴特的土生子深刻剖析瞭黑人犯罪的根源,成為黑人文學的裏程碑。 賴特塑造的黑人青年彆格,齣生在貧民窟,父親早死,跟母親妹妹和...

小說寫得非常棒,幾乎是一氣嗬成地聽完。作者對人物內心的描寫非常細膩,幾位人物刻畫得栩栩如生。對生活和白人行為的諷刺字裏行間帶過,但是卻讓人感到觸目驚心。
評分真實的心理描寫
評分主人公的心理描寫太細緻入微,看的時候心跟著緊張難受,每每到瞭關鍵時刻,都得緩緩纔敢繼續去讀,有點不敢麵對即將要齣現的事情結果。很可怕但是又很可悲的故事。後補充,讀完讓我想到瞭一點,語言真的太強大瞭,輿論方嚮不就是靠媒體煽動的嗎,正還是反都是靠一張嘴,廣大民眾沒有判斷力的
評分seminar上試著用黑格爾的主奴辯證法解釋瞭一下,成功地唬住瞭同學們,使他們紛紛裝作認真記筆記的樣子(。
評分最近Literature在讀書目 / 感覺後麵大段對於律師的描寫讀起來真的不是很有意思 / 在課上做瞭太多關於Bigger性格之類的分析 覺得這件事情不僅僅怪社會 Bigger也不是沒責任。
