Summary:

"A Father's Law is the novel Richard Wright, author of Black Boy and
Native Son, never completed. Written during a six-week period near
the end of his life, it appears in print for the first time,
submitted by his daughter and literary executor, Julia, who writes:"
""It comes from his guts and ends at the hero's 'breaking point.' It
explores many themes favored by my father like guilt and innocence,
the difficult relationship between the generations, the difficulty of
being a black policeman and father, the difficulty of being both
those things and suspecting that your own son is the murderer. It
intertwines astonishingly modern themes for a novel written in
1960.""--BOOK JACKET.
