This is the Spanish edition of Richard Wright and the Library Card, a story based on a fictionalized episode from Wright's autobiography. Seventeen-year-old Richard longs to read but is barred from the library because he is black. This doesn't serve as an introduction to the author, but the translation flows well, and the impressionistic illustrations are captivating. A brief note is appended.
