It took a while to read both, and thought I knew he had died, as the book began to detail his last few months, I began to really get sad, and as he died, I literally was in tears. I'm not a crier, and I read this book while on the stationary bike at the gym. As he was dying I was feeling as if I was losing a friend. I must have really gotten emotionally invested in the book because I suddenly had to leave the gym and go home. It was as if some one called me on my cell to tell me someone I cared about had died. This was a great book. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

February 1, 2002 marks the 100th birthday of Langston Hughes. To commemorate the centennial of his birth, Arnold Rampersad has contributed new Afterwords to both volumes of his highly-praised biography of this most extraordinary and prolific American writer.The second volume in this masterful biography finds Hughes rooting himself in Harlem, receiving stimulation from his rich cultural surroundings. Here he rethought his view of art and radicalism, and cultivated relationships with younger, more militant writers such as Richard Wright, RalphEllison, James Baldwin, and Amiri Bakara. Rampersad's Afterword to volume two looks further into his influence and how it expanded beyond the literary as a result of his love of jazz and blues, his opera and musical theater collaborations, and his participation in radio and television. In addition,Rempersad explores the controversial matter of Hughes's sexuality and the possibility that, despite a lack of clear evidence, Hughes was homosexual.Exhaustively researched in archival collections throughout the country, especially in the Langston Hughes papers at Yale University's Beinecke Library, and featuring fifty illustrations per volume, this anniversary edition will offer a new generation of readers entrance to the life and mind ofone of the twentieth century's greatest artists.
