This review is from: Langston Hughes (Library Binding)
I had a copy of the 1968 version of the Langston Hughes biography. It is a thorough in depth portrayal of Langston Hughes. Helped by his closeness to his subject, [Mr. Meltzer was friends with Langston, who died suddenly before this biography was completed] he had primary and secondary sources at hand that made this a personal, very detailed account of Langston's amazing, sometimes lonely, life. His use of poetry to punctuate certain points of Langston's life, in particular, the poem read at his wake, and the poetry written about lynchings, made these vignettes memorable and powerful. I recommend this book strongly to all readers who admire Langston Hughes. You may find yourself discovering facts about Langston of which you had no clue! Read it!
