Yet before he was 40, Wright dominated literary America, publishing four books in seven years, each a triumph in its genre. His first novel, ''Native Son'' (1940), sold at the rate of 2,000 copies a day, making Wright the first best-selling black writer in the country's history. ''Black Boy'' (1945), his memoir of his Southern childhood, was a bigger success, selling more than a half-million copies.
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.
