Never before published, the final work of one of America's
greatest writers
A Father's Law is the novel Richard Wright, acclaimed author of
Black Boy and Native Son, never completed. Written during a
six-week period near the end of his life, it appears in print for
the first time, an important addition to this American master's
body of work, submitted by his daughter and literary executor,
Julia, who writes:
It comes from his guts and ends at the hero's "breaking point."
It explores many themes favored by my father like guilt and
innocence, the difficult relationship between the generations, the
difficulty of being a black policeman and father, the difficulty of
being both those things and suspecting that your own son is the
murderer. It intertwines astonishingly modern themes for a novel
written in 1960.
Prescient, raw, powerful, and fascinating, A Father's Law is the
final gift from a literary giant.
