Abstract
In 1946 Richard Wright, a black American, went to France and wrote a book entitled "The Outsider" and published it in 1953. This book was one of his main works in his life but, strange as it may seem, this book did not give him a fame in America particularly as it should when compared with his other works such as "Native Son' and others. This is probably because in "The Outsider" he dealt too many cases of murderous affairs. In the light of the above facts I tried to grasp and show with a method of Psychoanalysis some phases of the high spots of Richard Wright's personal character as a black American writer.
