Riassunto

Harlem in the 1920s is a hopping scene when Stephen Jorgenson arrives from Canada and is taken uptown, where he embraces his new environment but is balanced by the artist Paul, who is cynical about himself and his people. Reprint. 12,500 first printing.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"[T]his delightful roman à clef about the Harlem Renaissance reflects . . . many of the competing notions of its time--between the masses and individuality, between art and uplift, between civilization and primitivism, between separatism and assimilation."        --Kirkus Reviews

L'autore:

Wallace Thurman, author of The Blacker the Berry and the hit Broadway play Harlem, was a dark-skinned bisexual alcoholic who never thought he was accepted by his peers. Raised in Salt Lake City, he died destitute in New York in 1934. Infants of the Spring was his last laugh. E. Lynn Harris is the bestselling author of Invisible Life, And This Too Shall Pass, and If This World Were Mine.

The fertile artistic period now known as the Harlem Renaissance (1920-1930) gave birth to many of the world-renowned masters of black literature and is the model for today's renaissance of black writers.
