A collection of vibrant and incisive short stories depicting the sometimes humorous, but more often tragic interactions between Black people and white people in America in the 1920s and '30s.

About Langston Hughes

Langston Hughes (1902–1967) was born in Joplin, Missouri, and became a central figure of the Harlem Renaissance. His debut collection, The Weary Blues (Alfred A. Knopf, 1926), was followed by work across poetry, fiction, and drama. He wrote the sequence Montage of a Dream Deferred (1951), which contains his poem "Harlem," and the short fiction featuring the character Jesse B. Semple. He studied briefly at Columbia University and graduated from Lincoln University in Pennsylvania. The NAACP awarded him the Spingarn Medal in 1960.
