After dropping out of high school and serving in the Korean War, the young Black writer landed in New York, where he was mentored by Norman Mailer, signed a book deal with a leading publisher, and was celebrated by the likes of Langston Hughes and James Baldwin. Over the decades to follow, Wright would lead a peripatetic and at times precarious life, shifting between Tangier, Veracruz, Paris, and New York penning a regular column for the Village Voice, and spending a lifetime dodging creditors, battling addiction and mental health issues, and living off the goodwill of his friends. As W. Lawrence Hogue shows, Wright's innovative fiction stands apart, offering a different vision of outcast Black Americans in the postwar era and using satire to bring agency and humanity to working-class characters. This critical biography-the first devoted to Wright's significant but largely forgotten story-brings new attention to the writer's impressive body of work, in the context of a wild, but troubled, life"--  |c Provided by publisher.
