Remembering Richard Wright
The grandson of a slave and native of Mississippi, Richard Wright will forever be remembered for his books “Black Boy” and “Native Son.”
Literary Friday
Fall reading, what your favorite book says about you, an illustration of a chance meeting with Faulkner. North Carolina's new poet laureate on video. Inside the App for F. Scott Fitzgerald Weekend. Poetry readings, a literary murder mystery dinner in Alabama, book fests galore in Literary Events. And a pair of works about redemption in Southern Voice. Happy Literary Friday!
Happy Birthday to Richard Wright!
Born on Rucker Plantation in Roxie, Mississippi, near Natchez, Richard Wright was the grandson of a slave and is now remembered for his now timeless works of Southern literature, including "Black Boy" and "Native Son."
