Cross Damon is a man at odds with society and with himself, a man who hungers for peace but who brings terror and destruction wherever he goes.</p> <p>As Maryemma Graham writes in her Introduction to this edition, with its restored text established by the Library of America, "<i>The Outsider</i> is Richard Wright's second installment in a story of epic proportions, a complex master narrative designed to show American racism in raw and ugly terms ... The stories of Bigger Thomas ... and Cross Damon bear an uncanny resemblance to many contemporary cases of street crime and violence. There is also a prophetic note in Wright's construction of the criminal mind as intelligent, introspective, and transformative."</p> <p>In addition to the Introduction by Maryemma Graham, this edition includes a notes section by Arnold Rampersad.</p> 17461 1953 The Outsider total:263|5:93|4:93|3:62|2:9|1:6| 263 1047 380 26 4 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 10:05:03 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 24 10:10:11 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue May 22 17:51:04 -0700 2007 Sun Jun 03 15:36:38 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 true false Sun Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 12:49:36 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 04 12:52:09 -0700 2007 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jan 28 14:41:53 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 28 14:44:44 -0800 2008 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Sep 27 22:02:33 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 10 21:32:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Jan 12 08:29:54 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 12 08:32:40 -0800 2009 5 1 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Fri Mar 30 15:23:36 -0700 2007 Fri Mar 30 15:30:41 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Mar 27 21:39:33 -0700 2009 Wed May 20 20:56:31 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sat May 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 15:48:50 -0700 2009 Sun May 03 10:44:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Jan 31 08:14:04 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 31 08:15:00 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jun 01 19:13:24 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 19:13:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Feb 19 07:10:35 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 07:10:35 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Dec 09 22:39:46 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 09 22:48:58 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Tue Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 1983 Wed Dec 26 19:32:51 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 26 19:38:05 -0800 2007 2 0 false false Sun Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Tue Jul 01 10:27:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 12 11:28:44 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Aug 26 13:49:31 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 06 06:10:32 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Fri Jul 25 11:59:51 -0700 2008 Fri Jul 25 12:00:23 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1997 Thu Aug 21 15:58:55 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 21 16:01:29 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Feb 18 14:21:00 -0800 2008 Mon Feb 18 14:21:52 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Fri Nov 30 17:00:13 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 13:56:29 -0800 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=15617
