Black Manhood in James Baldwin, Ernest J. Gaines, and August Wilson (2002,
2004) by Keith Clark
From Frederick Douglass to the present, the preoccupation of black
writers with manhood and masculinity has been constant. Black
Manhood in
James Baldwin,
Ernest J. Gaines, and
August Wilson explores how in
their own work three major African American writers contest classic
portrayals of black men in earlier literature, from slave narratives
through the great novels of
Richard Wright and
Ralph Ellison.
Keith Clark examines short stories, novels, and plays by Baldwin,
Gaines, and Wilson, arguing that since the 1950s the three have
interrupted and radically dismantled the constricting literary
depictions of black men who equate selfhood with victimization,
isolation, and patriarchy. Instead, they have reimagined black men
whose identity is grounded in community, camaraderie, and intimacy.
Delivering original and startling insights, this book will appeal to
scholars and students of African American literature, gender
studies, and narratology.

Exiled in Paris: Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Samuel Beckett, and Others on the Left Bank (1995, 2003)
by James Campbell
Exiled in Paris provides a
compelling look at the personalities who fueled the literary and
philosophical dramas of postwar Paris:
James Baldwin, Alexander Trocchi, Boris Vian,
Maurice Girodias, and many others. James Campbell provides a fresh
look at Samuel Beckett's early
career; reveals the facts behind the publication of the scandalous
best-seller The Story of O; and tells the poignant story of
Richard Wright's years in exile.
He captures the sense of deliverance that Wright, so accustomed to
daily humiliations in his own country, experienced during his sojourn
on the Left Bank, where, for the first time in his life, he was
treated as a great man of letters. Here, too, are all the
circumstances surrounding Wright's mysterious death, which many close
to him regarded as suspicious.
