this book is like the sequel of Great Expectations, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Jack the Ripper all put into one package

I love this book!

This was filmed long before 1968. Richard Wright died in exile, in Paris, aged 52, in 1960. Michelle Obama's parents were in Chicago at that time.

Thanks for posting this! I read the book many years ago & was greatly impressed. A true American classic! I've known for years that a low budget independently produced version was filmed around 1950 but until now I wasn't able to see any footage from it. And with none other than the author himself in the title role! You've made my day & my weekend! CHEERS! :-)

=_= novel was depressing to me. I was so GLAD when we were done reading it in my english class. This and oryx and crake XP

@JWumboTravel also, the first murder was accident. Plus the whole justice system was very racist so you cant think they would give him a fair trial. And they didnt.
-
@JWumboTravel well its something that probably no one would understand unless they actually lived thru it and experienced it.

@danynumero6 im sorry, but i just cannot believe that his oppression is what caused him to kill people.

@JWumboTravel You have completely missed the point of this novel, my friend. Richard Wright creates a character like Bigger in order to expose the crippling effects on the psyche that a demoralizing, discriminatory, and racist society can produce.
Simply put- Bigger is a product of his surroundings
