Description
Langston Hughes, born in 1902, came of age early in the 1920s. In THE BIG SEA he recounts those memorable years in the two great playgrounds of the decade--Harlem and Paris. In Paris he was a cook and waiter in nightclubs. He knew musicians and dancers, the drunks and the dope fiends. In Harlem he was a rising young poet--at the center of the "Harlem Renaissance." Arnold Rampersad writes in his incisive introduction to THE BIG SEA, an American classic: "This is American writing at its best--simpler than Hemingway; as simple and direct as that of another Missouri-born writer. . . Mark Twain."
