"Fred Daniels, a Black man, is picked up by the police after a brutal double murder and tortured until he confesses to a crime he did not commit. After signing a confession, he escapes from custody and flees into the city's sewer system. This is the devastating premise of Richard Wright's scorching novel The man who lived underground, written between his landmark books Native Son (1940) and Black Boy (1945) at the height of his creative powers."-- Provided by publisher.
