I added information on the American Writers Congress of 1935.
I added some links to the chronology (information on the American Writers Congress) and broke the chronology pages into decades.
I added new menu images.
I did a few links from the front page to already existing pages. The only new addition is a brief page on Wright's postal service experience.
I added some information on Wright's The Color Curtain.
I'm working on linking information in the chronology. Specifically I've tried to provide information on events from the thirties -- the Federal Writers' Project, a few of the small journals, etc.
I have added a page for Wright's text The Color Curtain, a non-fiction exploration of the implications of the 1955 Bandung Conference.
Some people had complained that the background and text of the biblio of criticism did not work well together. I changed the background.
I added new items to the bibliography of criticism, all of which can be found in the just published Approaches to Teaching Wright's Native Son, edited by James A. Miller, and published by the MLA of America.
A bibliography of criticism specific to Uncle Tom's Children is now available. To see it, go here.
I am currently creating novel-specific critical bibliographic lists. These are culled from the general critical bibliography list. So far I have Native Son, The Outsider, and Black Boy lists completed.
A separate page for American Hunger, complete with a picture of the 1977 cover.
A few new sources have been added to the critical bibliography, which I have also made easier to navigate by adding "return to index" links after each alphabetical section.
Updated the Savage Holiday page.
Created a link for Fabre's The Unfinished Quest of Richard Wright. The link is pretty lame, but it's there.
I wrote a blurb for Savage Holiday.
I updated the critical bibliography with about six recent articles and books on Wright.
The scanner to which I have access is broken, so my plans to add more scanned covers of Wright's works have been put on hold.
