About This Item

Harper & Row. Very Good in Very Good Dust Jacket. 1977. Stated 1st Edition. Hardcover. 0060147687 . Publisher's Note: The book published here was originally included by Richard Wright as the second part of an autobiography entitled "American Hunger". Its working title was "The Horror and the Glory". The two parts were separated prior to publication and the first part was published in 1945 as "Black Boy", the second apparently being intended for publication at a later date. Portions of the second section saw scattered publication in the 1940s, but this volume now appears intact for the first time. At end of book is facsimile of page 424 of the original manuscript, bearing Richard Wright's editing. The material corresponds to page 61 in this volume. Previous owner's name sprawled across the title page and across top edge; DJ is moderately worn with one small closed tear. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 146+ pages; 21075 .
