Un racconto aggrappato alla realtà, "vissuto alla giornata": la lenta maturazione d'un giovane solo e arrabbiato, avido di conoscere, affamato di parole e di libri. "Ragazzo negro", quasi un romanzo di formazione, è l'autobiografia simbolica di Richard Wright, scrittore negro nativo delMississippi, dapprima sguattero, spazzino, spalatore, poi impiegato alle poste, agente di assicurazioni, disoccupato, infine narratore di brevi racconti pagati pochi dollari a cartella. L'esperienza di vivere nelle cose, scoprire le parole come arma di liberazione: il coraggio di progettare la propria esistenza proiettandola verso il viaggio dell'utopia come scelta d'una fuga che non è più passiva sconfitta.
