Neto de escravizados e filho de empregada, perdeu o pai logo cedo. Na juventude, estudou música clássica e era apaixonado por jazz, mas, contrariando seus planos iniciais, não se tornou músico. Em 1936, foi para Nova York e ingressou em um programa para escritores financiado pelo governo; em pouco tempo, passou a ser publicado em jornais e revistas. Com o início da Segunda Guerra Mundial, foi admitido na marinha mercante, trabalhando como cozinheiro.
