黑人作家。1908年9月4日生于密西西比州纳切兹附近的一个种植园里。祖父是奴隶，父亲是种植园工人，后弃家出走。母亲是乡村教师。赖特进过孤儿院，曾在几个亲戚家寄养，15岁起独立谋生。他从小深受歧视，对社会、尤其对周围的白人世界怀着又恨又怕的心理。这种心理状态不仅在他的著名的自传《黑孩子》(1945)中作了生动的描述，而且在他的小说中也有所反映。赖特离家后曾在孟菲斯、芝加哥等地从事各种体力劳动，同时勤奋自学，立志成为作家。他爱读德莱塞、刘易斯、安德森等现实主义作家的作品，深受他们的影响。30年代美国经济萧条时期，赖特长期失业，对美国贫富悬殊、种族歧视的社会有了进一步认识。1932年加入美国共产党，学习运用马克思主义的观点去观察社会，这使他后来的创作能够比较深刻地发掘生活，揭露社会的矛盾和黑暗面，向社会提出控诉和抗议，因而成为30至40年代美国左翼文学中所...(展开全部)
