EIGHT MEN - RICHARD WRIGHT KARTONIERT (TB)

'All eight men and all eight stories stand as beautifully  pitifully  terribly true... This is
fine  sound  good  honorable writing rich with insight and understanding  even when
occasionally twisted by sorrow' New York TimesHunted by the police for a crime he didn't commit
a man turns to the sewers and a life underground. Struggling to get work  another turns to
wearing his wife's clothes in a desperate last attempt. Finding himself the object of derision
yet another man buys a gun only to discover its true power. Here are Richard Wright's stories
of eight men - black men  living at violent odds with the white world around them. As
suspenseful as they are excoriating  they stand alongside Wright's novels as some of the most
powerful depictions of black America in the twentieth century.
