Right from the start, Bigger Thomas had been
headed for jail. It could have been for assault or petty larceny; by chance, it
was for murder and rape. Native Son tells the story of
this young black man caught in a downward spiral after he kills a young white woman
in a brief moment of panic. Set in Chicago in the 1930s, Wright's powerful
novel is an unsparing reflection on the poverty and feelings of hopelessness
experienced by people in inner cities across the country and of what it means
to be black in America.
