Black Boy, an autobiography of the author’s boyhood, explores the theory of human behavior determined by environment. Richard Wright’s novel is profoundly American by being a distinctly African–American chronicle. What makes the book unique is its tone, which is that of the blues, both lyrical and ironic, and yet purely tragic.
