Stories capturing "the vibrancy of Harlem life, the passions of ordinary black people, and the indignities of everyday racism" by "a great American writer" (Kirkus Reviews).This collection of forty-seven stories written between 1919 and 1963-the most comprehensive available-showcases Langston Hughes’s literary blossoming and the development of his personal and artistic concerns in the decades that preceded the passage of the Civil Rights Act. Many of the stories assembled here have long been out of print, and others never before collected. These poignant, witty, angry, and deeply poetic stories demonstrate Hughes’s uncanny gift for elucidating the most vexing questions of American race relations and human nature in general."[Hughes’s fiction] manifests his ‘wonder at the world.’ As these stories reveal, that wonder has lost little of its shine." -The Cleveland Plain Dealer
