William Attaway Books

Inspired by Langston Hughes, William Attaway felt an urgent calling to write, deviating from his middle-class origins to pursue his literary ambitions. His novels delved into complex social issues, often focusing on the experiences of outsiders and the search for identity across racial and class divides. Attaway's prose was marked by its raw realism and insightful commentary on American society. Though his novelistic output was concentrated early in his career, his work retains a significant literary legacy.
