I will go with E.

Here the main subject is the author's novel and not the author itself. So it will be incorrect to say (like in C) "-including Richard Wright..." since the novel cannot include the author. Also I find the usage including doubtful after the hyphen.

E is best and maintains parallelism..Whats the OA ?
