A fun surprise for this #archivespotlight! This first edition of "Richard Wright: Daemonic Genius" by Margaret Walker is signed by the author with a note addressed to Cora and Bill Norman. Cora was the 1st executive director of the MS Humanities Council in 1972.

Just sitting around thinking about war writing and how, for me, some of the most interesting of the bunch is war writing set away from the fighting, at the home front. There is a violence that extends far beyond the battlefield.
