Question

Two answers required. In a eulogy for one of these two authors, the other recalls going with his friend Andy to attend his failed attempt to start a fellowship club. One of these two writers claimed that a character created by the other “accepted a theology that denies him life” and “battle[s] for his humanity.” One of these authors recalls distrusting the other’s association with French intellectuals like Sartre and de Beauvoir in a three-part essay from Nobody Knows My Name that eulogizes the other’s death in Paris and praises his collection Eight Men. One of these two writers (10[1])criticized the other in the essay “Many Thousands Gone” and linked him to a “timeless battle” with Harriet Beecher Stowe for his use of racial stereotypes in the essay “Everybody’s Protest Novel.” For 10 points, name these two authors, one of whom wrote a novel about Bigger Thomas that inspired the title of the other’s collection Notes of a Native Son. ■END■
