Never before published, the final work of one of America's greatest writers
A Father's Law is the novel Richard Wright, acclaimed author of Black Boy and Native Son, never completed. Written during a six-week period near the end of his life, it appears in print for the first time, an important addition to this American master's body of work, submitted by his daughter and literary executor, Julia, who writes:
It comes from his guts and ends at the hero's "breaking point." It explores many themes favored by my father like guilt and innocence, the difficult relationship between the generations, the difficulty of being a black policeman and father, the difficulty of being both those things and suspecting that your own son is the murderer. It intertwines astonishingly modern themes for a novel written in 1960.
Prescient, raw, powerful, and fascinating, A Father's Law is the final gift from a literary giant.

reviewed Father's Law on December 08, 2009 Father's Law
This was an absolutely gripping read. The characters were so flawed and beautiful; the story was tragic, hopeful, smart and philosophical. The protagonist, Ruddy, and his son Tommy, have stayed on my mind all night. It all felt so realistic that I could see the whole thing playing out in my mind like a movie. Add to the wonderful story that this was only a manuscript/first draft (only draft) that Richard Wright wrote makes this even more of a literary gift. His daughter did well to finally publish this work untouched and flawed, just like his characters. I will reread this throughout the years.
