Introduction
David (Henry) Bradley, Jr. 1950–
Black American novelist.
In his first novel, South Street, Bradley employs a Zola-like naturalism to depict street life in Philadelphia. His second novel, The Chaneysville Incident, is based on a mysterious historical legend involving the underground railroad for slaves. Many critics praised Bradley for the risks he took to produce a work which is more than a standard historical novel.
