WRIGHT
continued from B-2
Revolutionnaire, then founding the
.Franco-American fellowship. He
also became increasingly involved in
drama, forming the Cercle Interna­
tional du Theatre et du Cinema with
Jean Cocteau and taking the lead role
of Bigger Thomas in the film version
of Native Son.
In 1954,' Black P ert A Record
o/Reactions in al.andofl'athos, was
published by Harper and Brothers,
based on Wright's extensive tour of
Africa, and in 1956, The Color Cur­
tain: A Record on the Bandung Con­
ference, was Published in the U.S. by
World Publishers, to favorable
review . He then decided to under-
I take a study of Spanish culture, driv­
ing his Citroen 4000 miles through
Spain to conduct research. The
result, Pagan Spain, was publi hed
by Harper and Brothers in 1957.
White Man, Listens, a collection of
essay based on Wright's lectures,
was also published that year (by
Doubleday, where editor Edward
I Aswell had moved) and was critical­
ly acclaimed by Black pre s in
theU.S.
In the late 1950s, however,
Wright's fortunes declined. He
found himself resented and alienated
by the Black communi ty in Pari ,
which was troubled by di sension,
: Financial concerns also plagued
him; the sale of Paaan Soain and his
· new Mi is ippi novel, The Lona
Dream (Doubleday, 1958), were
slow. He became frustrated by what
he felt was growing American politi­
cal influence in French life. In 1959,
Wright attempted to leave France
and move to England, but was denied
a resident visa without explanation. .
He began to uffer health
· problems and ought treannent at
, American Hospital in Pari . He
recovered adequately to travel brief­
ly to Holland and record a erie of
interview for French radio, but fell
, ill once again in September of 1960.
.. He di d of a heart attack on Novem­
: ber28, and was cremated, along with
, a copy of Black Boy. Hi ashes are
interred at Pere Lachaise cemetery in
Pari .
