    Awesome book if interested in Langston Hughes, the genius of an American writer.
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2021*

Langston Hughes like so many others who define the American Canon of literature greatness is defined as a Negro Writer, labeled because he's black.  Because he's black, his death in 1967 Black America was a tremendous loss or so some say today.  HE will live forever.It was he along with other writers that help me grow, live and be happy in this American culture, acculturation of culture, murder, barbarianism, racism, disdain for a people she enslaved, beat, raped, incarcerated for wrongs never committed, still harbors a hate-rage relationship with those of us who were sent here by our African connections into the slave trade.  We still share the humiliation of being bonded into this horrible state.  However, we got through it became great inventors, authors, doctors.Racism instead of helping make America a greater political economy uses divide and conquer to keep people homeless, destitute and mentally, many physically enslaved.  But there are those of us who are not enslaved, we're free.  I thank Langston Hughes for my freedom.  No matter where we are demonized and still mentally raped until this very day.Its not up to us to make anyone's wrongs right.  I love Langston Hughes as he details his journey, his specific personal journey in many of his stories created the magic of our existence.He, as does James Baldwin share grounded characteristics in basic content for a black American life in such different ways, it's another essay to describe the author's individual personality and element that makes a black American, especially if a slave descendant, whole.

    A quirky masterpiece
  

*by G***T on Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2021*

Loved it. I thought that even if Langston was not totally candid, he was honest enough to let his basic personality shine through. There was so much I didn't know! The Paris years were absolutely fascinating. I love that he stressed his working-class background and downplayed his hobnobbing with the literati. I am not sure it's fair to call him a closeted gay man; he writes nonchalantly of going to brothels. The fact that he was only 5'4" in height explains a lot, though of course he never mentions it. (I thought of him as a "big man" while reading the book... It's funny.) His account of the Harlem Renaissance is masterful, but there's so much more. The struggle for racial respect is relatable and never ends. What really got to me was his hand-to-mouth youth. Don't miss this memoir.

    A Somewhat guarded account of the life of a great American Poet.
  

*by A***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2015*

If you don't know much about the life of Langston, then this is a good place to start.  Written over 50 years ago, it provides a sanitized glimpse into the life of this iconic American poet.  He is skillful not to revealing to many details of his personal life while at the same time giving  the reader insight into some key events that helped shape the man we have come to know.  Langston was a complicated young man who, from this account, spent a number of years just trying to find himself and his place in society.  His writing was more inspired by the down times than by the up times and his adventures both here and abroad far exceeded what I would have expected from a young black many of his day.  I would recommend this book for High School reading and discussion, and encourage young adults to give thought and discussion to how Langston was willing to take some calculated chances and explore the world beyond what lay before him.
