The autobiography of one of America's most prolific and important writers, Langston Hughes captures his travels to Russia, Cuba, and other far-off places. This book is a tribute to Hughes' life as an artist and a chronicle of his political commitments.

This is one of my favorite books of all time. Langston Hughes had a remarkable life, and reading about it in his own unmistakeable prose is truly a treat for the soul. Pick this up and his other autobiographical masterpiece, The Big Sea.

This book is quite possibly the reason why I adore Langston Hughes, not just as an artist, but as a person. This book includes a collection of short stories...about himself.

Almost as wonderful as The Big Sea but I wouldn't read it right afterwards because you can't appreciate it after having just read The Big Sea. Still, as glorious as glory.

Read in August, 2007
recommends it for:
history geeks and storytellers
Hughes cleverly uses humor to gloss over his more revolutionary periods, yet his engaging travels to middle Russia and beyond still make for a fine tale.
