The Outsider is a novel by American author Richard Wright, first published in 1953.
 "The Outsider" is Richard Wright's second installment in a story of epic proportions, a complex master narrative to show American racism in raw and ugly terms.
 The kind of racism that Wright knew and experienced, a racism from which most black people of his own time could not escape, remained the central element in his fiction.
 "The Outsider" appeared during the height of McCarthyism in the United States and the advent of the Cold War in Europe, two events which had a significant bearing on its initial reception.
Cross Damon was a fictional character from Richard Wright's 1953 novel "The Outsider".
 Cross Damon was viewed as an "outsider" who did not attempt to become a product of the established culture of American society.
 Cross was considered a complete opposite to Bigger Thomas, another character created by Richard Wright in his novel "Native Son".
 He also ridicules Communist techniques and lives according to the principles of free choice.
 Cross Damon committed murder in a completely different spirit than Bigger Thomas.
 He acts as an individual who is free to do whatever his habits and desires lead him to do.
 His is not a victim of social and environmental pressures outside his control.
 In many ways, Cross Damon resembles Meursault, the hero of Albert Camus novel "The Stranger".
 Both men lived outside of any involvement with common humanity and paid no attention to social mores.
