Lonely Crusaders, Part II
Lonely Crusaders, Part II
This chapter discusses the careers of Ann Petry, Richard Wright, and Willard Motley. Among postwar Black novelists, the personal stories of Petry, Wright, and Motley, sexual and political, provide the context for and part of the explanation for the artistic achievements of the Lonely Crusaders. Ann Petry, in tandem with Wright in The Outsider, was the supreme redactor of the postwar historical trauma of left-wing African Americans.
