Fascinating critical biography of this great African-American poet and writer. Explores his private and public life in all their complexity, as well as his work and the response it received, both during his lifetime and after.
I found the material on Langston Hughes life very interesting. However this particular biography was way too political for me and it went into deeply into the other people invovlved in the politics.
