Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. Jean Toomer achieved instant recognition as a critic and thinker in 1923 with the publication of his novel Cane, a harsh, eloquent vision of black American hardship and suffering. But because of his reclusive, introspective nature, Toomer's fame waned in later years, and today his other contributions to American thought and literature are all but forgotten. Now, this collection of unpublished writings restores a crucial dimension to our understanding ofthis important African American author. Thematically arranging letters, sketches, poems, autobiography, short stories, a play, and a children's story, Frederik Rusch offers insight into Toomer's mind andspirituality, his feelings on racial identity in America, and his attitudes toward and ideas about Cane. Rusch highlights Toomer's reflections on America, its people, landscape, and politics, reveals his significance for the problems and issues of today, and helps us understand Toomer not only as writer, but also as social critic, prophet, mystic, and idealist. Exploring Toomer's attempts to find self-realization and transcend social and cultural definitions of race, this book offers aunique view of the United States through the life of one of its most significant and fascinating intellectuals. This collection of writings by Jean Toomer offers insight into the thinking of the author of Cane. Often spiritual in tenor, the range of works reproduced here trace the evolution of a complex philosophy of kinship and self-determination through which Toomer hoped to transcend social and cultural definitions of race.
