Widely acclaimed for its comprehensive and sensitive portrait of one of America’s most renowned writers, The Unfinished Quest of Richard Wright presents a profound and thorough interpretation of Wright’s work. It is at once affective and human, very moving and complete. Michel Fabre understands both the man and the writer.
