Native Son

About the book

Bigger Thomas's life and crime expose the brutal pressures of racism, poverty, fear and social confinement.

A forceful fit for readers asking about race, urban poverty, crime, systemic injustice and American social fiction.

Wright's novel is meant to confront, not soothe, and gives the catalogue a darker social protest route.

It suits readers seeking political fiction that engages racism, crime, class and urban pressure directly.
