Not Without Laughter, The Ways of White Folks, Weary Blues

One of the most important writers to emerge from the Harlem Renaissance, LangstonHughes may be best known as a poet, but he was also a brilliant storyteller, blendingelements of blues and jazz, speech and song, into a triumphant and wholly original idiom.Perhaps more than any other writer, Langston Hughes made the white America of the1920s and 1930s aware of the Black culture thriving in its midst. Hughes's poetry andfiction works are messages from that America, sharply etched vignettes of its daily life,cruelly accurate portrayals of Black and white collisions.Everyman's Library pursues the highest production standards, printing on acid-free paper,with full-cloth cases with two-color foil stamping, decorative endpapers, silk ribbon markers,European-style half-round spines, and a full-color illustrated jacket.
