I remember reading Black Boy: A Record of Childhood and
Youth when Wright's autobiographical book first appeared, in 1945. A boy of fifteen, I was frightened and impressed by the book. Reading it again many years later, the old reactions do not return. Instead, I am compelled to ask the Nietzschean question: Who is the interpreter, and what power does he seek to gain over the text, whether it be his own text or the text of his life? Wright, an anguished and angry interpreter, wrote a far more political work in Black Boy than in Native Son. What passes for a Marxist analysis of the relation between society and Bigger Thomas seems to me always a kind of authorial afterthought in Native Son. In Black Boy, this pseudo-Marxism usurps the narrator's function, and the will to power over interpretation becomes the incessant undersong of the entire book. Contrast the opening and closing paragraphs of Black Boy:
