Wright, Richard (With Intro by Dorothy Canfield Fisher) Native Son
New York: Grossett & Dunlap, 1940. Reprint edition.
A good copy but for tad stained blue cloth, bumped corners. DJ is good-, has tip of toe and heel of spine gone, chipped around all edges. Clean, solid interior. Bigger Thomas, a young black man in Chicago, murders two women and is condemned to death. Bigger, whose crimes escalate as the story takes its sad and terrible course, feels-like Dostoyevsky's Raskolnikov in CRIME AND PUNISHMENT-that the act of murder is a kind of existential act, and is the only kind of freedom he has ever known. Wright deliberately avoided making his protagonist a sympathetic character, wishing to accurately depict the dehumanization of blacks in American society, as well as his belief that Bigger, as a product of his environment, is not truly guilty of the murders he committed.

Canfield, Dorothy Raw Material
New York, NY, U.S.A. Harcourt, Brace and Company 1923 First Edition Hard Cover Good No Jacket
Brown cloth on boards. Volume is lightly worn. Now in clear cover. "I don't know who is responsible for this rather odd book, but I lay it to the earlier generations of my family. My clergyman grandfather always said that he never enjoyed any sermons so much as the ones he preached to himself sitting under another clergyman's pulpit. My father, who did a great deal of public speaking, though not in pulpits, took up this habit in turn. After I began to read for myself I found the same habit of mind familiar to many authors. And so in this unrelated, unorganized bundle of facts, I give you just the sort of thing from which a novelist makes principle of secondary characters, or episodes in a novel. I offer them to you for the novels you are writing inside your own heads, before I have spoiled them with, additions, cuttings and editing. I do not wish you to take any rod in particular, and rather hope you will try a good many different ones as I do.
