The Outsider

A Novel

By: Richard Wright

Narrated by: JD Jackson

From Richard Wright, one of the most powerful, acclaimed, and essential American authors of the twentieth century, comes a compelling story of one man's attempt to escape his past and start anew in Harlem.

Cross Damon is a man at odds with society and with himself—a man of superior intellect who hungers for peace but who brings terror and destruction wherever he goes. The Outsider is an important work of fiction that depicts American racism and its devastating consequences in raw and unflinching terms. Brilliantly imagined and frighteningly prescient, it is an epic exploration of the tragic roots of criminal behavior.

My favorite Richard Wright novel

I read this as a teenager and loved it. I read it again at 55 years old and loved it much more deeply.

wish it ended differently but such a well written book! cant wait to read a another novel by Richard Wriggt!

An eventful story that compares and contrasts of classification we give ourselves in reality

Wrights ability to express his thoughts on the communist movement through the main characters thoughts and actions are impeccable.
