(3) YA Literary Greats series. The first black author in the United States to write a bestseller, Wright published the history-making Native Son in 1940. Still, he faced racial prejudice and discrimination. This thoughtful biography places Wright's life and literary success in historical context, delineating how his books reflected his own experiences and those of black America. Uncluttered design and black-and-white photos contribute to the book's accessibility. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
