It is the habit of literary folk to bury their dead quietly and then, from time to time, to exhume them for examination. Few authors have been buried more quietly and then raised from the dead with more ceremony than Richard Wright. Some of our folk even attempted to bury him before his actual death on November 28, 1960. Wright puzzles us. His work still makes us feel uneasy and it also defines for us the unfinished quality of the world in which we live. And he filled the world with a DREAD that must certainly haunt all our days.
