About This Item
New York: Walker and Company, 1963. First Edition. Dust Jacket Included. First Edition. Wright, Richard. LAWD TODAY. New York: Walker and Company, 1953. 8vo., 194pp. Orange cloth spine with red and gold stamped title & gold stamped initials on the front board.
A dynamically designed dustjacket by the Etheridges, rarely seen depicting the day in the life of a postal worker in Chicago. Dust Jacket price clipped and some slight wear and tear.
LAWD TODAY was written before the publication of NATIVE SON.
"UNTIL THE TIME of his death in 1960, Richard Wright "was generally accounted the most gifted living American Negro writer". His most famous novels, NATIVE SON and
BLACK BOY, had already gained a secure place as classics of Twentieth Century American fiction and all his work had become internationally famous. The posthumous publication of a new Richard Wright novel is, therefore an event
of some literary significance*". (*Dust jacket Flap writeup).
