About the Book

The HarperPerennial library of the works of one of the most esteemed names in African-American literature is now complete with the addition of this highly acclaimed collection of short stories, Eight Men. It presents eight stories of black men living at violent odds with the white world around them. As in his classic novels, the themes reflect Wright's views on racism and his fascination with what he called "the struggle of the individual in America."

Critical Praise

“All eight men and all eight stories stand as beautifully, pitifully, terribly true. . . . Rich with insight and understanding, even when occasionally twisted by sorrow.” — New York Times

"Haunting. . . . A powerful and disturbing book." — Kirkus Reviews
