	MWP: Richard Wright (1908-1960)

	Richard Wright (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Wright's prose is direct and graphic, focusing on the dark and violent aspects of life in the rural South during the Thirties.
		Wright's straightforward narration emphasizes his message, and like other proletarian authors Wright breaks from the pessimistic determinism of naturalism by idealizing some characters and supporting their heroic opposition to oppression with an underlying hope for melioration.
		Moreover, Wright is able in The Outsider to avoid the drastic stylistic shift he used in the final section of Native Son.

		Richard Wright makes it seem that if it were not for the women in Cross Damon's life, his character would be an upstanding model citizen.
		Wright himself even writes: Gladys and his mother had vied for female dominance in the home and it had ended with his mother's packing and leaving, declaring that she preferred to live alone rather than with a willful daughter-in-law who didn't respect her (Wright 53-55).
		Wright conveniently chooses to forget about the three women who hold the ties that keep Damon meshed in a world that is full of rage.

	The Outsider
		Wright’s new book is a novel of ideas which examines life in the light of modern philosophies.
		Though he agrees with these other “outsiders” that power is the central reality of society and that “man is nothing in particular,” he is outraged by their acceptance and cynical exploitation of these “facts.” “That’s enough,” he screams before he kills a Communist who has just told him that there is no more to life.
		Wright’s hero, is so hypnotized by the evil man does individually and socially that he is aware of little else.

	The Outsider (Richard Wright) Summary
		The Outsider is Richard Wright's second installment in a story of epic proportions, a complex master narrative to show American racism in raw and ugly terms.
		Richard Wright's The Outsider … disappointed many critics who, for more than a decade, had waited for a second novel from the author of Native Son…;.
		The Outsider fails to evoke the emotional intensity which stunned readers of Native Son in 1940 and which continues to affect many readers who discover the book for the first time in 1969.

	The C.L.R. James Institute presents: The Richard Wright Connection: Quotations
		Wright's desire to criticise and experiment with Western philosophy can itself be read as a modernist violation of the literary codes and expectations surrounding Negro literature which his own work had helped to establish.
		Some critics attacked Wright’s misguided experimenting with intellectual traditions outside his actual experience and cited the text as the proof that his creative powers were in decline.
		For many African-American critics it seems that Wright’s most attractive face was the one James Baldwin had recognised immediately as that of a "Mississippi Picanniny." The question of why this side of Wright should be the most appealing deserves to be answered at length.

	On Richard Wright's Poetry
		Richard Wright's poetry has ironically suffered a dearth of critical attention given its significance as a record of his entrée to both American Communism and a literary career.
		Wright's radical verse of the 1930s was written at a time when what might be called his political "vision" was most coherent, his role in U.S. culture and letters most easily understood.
		A full recovery of Wright, then, demands a restoration and recovery of the poetic Wright, the one whose verse predicted and dovetailed with the "proletarian moment" as well as that of any other poet, fl or white, of his time.

		Wright, the son of a sharecropper father and a high-school-teacher mother, was born September 4, 1908, on a Mississippi plantation some twenty miles from Natchez.
		Wright’s bitterness, however, is directed not only against his father but also against a whole society that allowed and caused hunger among poor sharecroppers.
		On the other hand, Wright never abandoned the perspective he gained as a Mississippian, a Southerner, a man uniquely equipped by his experiences in an unjust world to be a participant-observer of the human condition.

	The Outsider
		This time, Darren McGavin as The Outsider, will go to the opposite end of the spectrum as a character living in a run-down apartment with a beat-up car and who’s scrounging for change.
		In each episode, he is likely to be intimidated by a racketeer, embarrassed by a crooked sheriff, shot at by a hoodlum, chased by gangsters or beaten by one or more musclemen.
		I was working in the very first scene of a film called "The Outsider," which called for me to be waiting – gun in hand – in a darkened bedroom waiting for someone to enter.

		Wright actually has his character embark, midway through the novel, on a speech to a roomful of people (who presumably were asleep by the time it ended) that runs well beyond the several-page mark!
		Wright (through Cross) slays his ideological demons in "The Outsider," but the victory feels hollow and it certainly detracts from the book's literary merit.
		Wright made a far better effort at exploring existential ideas in "The Man Who Lived Underground," which is included in the book of short stories, "Eight Men." That story, well-conceived and written, will reward the reader far more than this overburdened novel.

		Wright, then, serves as a kind of case study for examination of African-American authorship and intellectual life from the 1930s through the 1950s.
		Wright was neither a consistent, refined craftsman nor a stylistic innovator.
		For example, you might work on a final project exploring the influence of Wright's work on Ann Petry's fiction or, say, his influence on the ways critics approach her fiction.

		I feel as though that because of this Cross sometimes is his own worst enemy and this is the cause of most of his problems.
		Sometimes Wright can overkill some of the themes by being so analytical that he loses the reader by going to indepth into the more obscure subjects like Communism and Facist's beliefs, that are needed for the reader to understand some of Cross's actions.
