In this visionary book, Murray takes an audacious new look at black music and, in the process, succeeds in changing the way one reads literature. Murray's subject is the previously unacknowledged kinship between fiction and the blues. Both, he argues, are virtuoso performances that impart information, wisdom, and moral guidance to their audiences; both place a high value on improvisation; and both fiction and the blues create a delicate balance between the holy and the obscene, essential human values and cosmic absurdity. Encompassing artists from Ernest Hemingway to Duke Ellington, and from Thomas Mann to Richard Wright, The Hero and the Blues pays homage to a new black aesthetic.

In African American fiction, Richard Wright was one of the most significant and influential authors of the twentieth century. Richard Wright in a Post-Racial Imaginary analyses Wright's work in relation to contemporary racial and social issues, bringing voices of established and emergent Wright scholars into dialogue with each other. The essays in this volume show how Wright's best work asks central questions about national alienation as well as about international belonging and the trans-national gaze. Race is here assumed as a superimposed category, rather than a biological reality, in keeping with recent trends in African-American studies. Wright's fiction and almost all of his non-fiction lift beyond the mainstays of African-American culture to explore the potentialities and limits of black trans-nationalism. Wright's trans-native status, his perpetual "outsidedness" mixed with the "essential humanness" of his activist and literary efforts are at the core of the innovative approaches to his work included here.

Essay from the year 2018 in the subject Literature - Comparative Literature, grade: 2,7, Cardiff University, course: English literature, language: English, abstract: This essay will aim at answering the following questions and it will compare the different representations of African American identity in the three short stories. Is there a difference in the representation of black identity if it is contested by a white writer? The question is if Faulkner’s representation of African American identity as a white author is more influenced by stereotypes than Wright’s or Baldwin’s. Or might some of these stereotypes actually be part of the black identity? For almost two centuries the short story has been part of the American literary tradition. It is one of the most essential literary genres of American culture. But it has been just as important to African American culture. Richard Wright and James Baldwin are two of the most well-known African American short story authors. They represent African American identity and culture in their short stories from the black point of view. William Faulkner, whose story will be analysed in this essay together with the ones of Wright and Baldwin, represents African American identity from a white author’s point of view. This essay will look at a variety of ways in which African American identity is contested in three short stories by these three authors. The stories the essay will deal with are Wright’s story The Man Who Was Almost a Man, written in 1961, Baldwin’s Sonny’s Blues from 1957 and William Faulkner’s That Evening Sun which was published for the first time in 1931, but also appeared in 1950 which is the version this essay relies on. Black writers have often been "neglected or misread because of their ‘race’", as Byerman argues, therefore it is interesting to take a look at the ways black identity is represented and contested in those stories.

African-American writer Richard Wright (1908-1960) was celebrated during the early 1940s for his searing autobiography (Black Boy) and fiction (Native Son). By 1947 he felt so unwelcome in his homeland that he exiled himself and his family in Paris. But his writings changed American culture forever, and today they are mainstays of literature and composition classes. He and his works are also the subjects of numerous critical essays and commentaries by contemporary writers. This volume presents a comprehensive annotated bibliography of those essays, books, and articles from 1983 through 2003. Arranged alphabetically by author within years are some 8,320 entries ranging from unpublished dissertations to book-length studies of African American literature and literary criticism. Also included as an appendix are addenda to the author's earlier bibliography covering the years from 1934 through 1982. This is the exhaustive reference for serious students of Richard Wright and his critics.

One of America's great African-American writers, Richard Wright achieved critical and popular acclaim with the publication of Native Son, a novel, and Black Boy, an autobiography. Blurring the boundaries between fact and fiction, Black Boy vividly depicts Wright's journey from a child growing up in the South during the time of Jim Crow segregation laws through his creative and imaginative development as a writer and intellectual. Black Boy is both a unique autobiography and a racial discourse, chronicling Wright's continual fight against prejudice and racism as well as his quest for self-liberation. Against significant odds, Wright became America's first best-selling black author, and Black Boy became an American classic. Its enduring story documents what it means to be a black man, a southerner, and a writer in the United States. Book jacket.
