Langston Hughes, given birth to in 1902, arrived of age early in the 1920s. In The Big Sea he recounts those memorable years in both great playgrounds of the decade - Harlem and Paris. In Paris he was a make and waiter in nightclubs. He realized the musicians and dancers, the drunks and dope fiends. In Harlem he was a growing young poet - at the center of the "Harlem Renaissance." Arnold Rampersad creates in his incisive new advantages to The Big Sea, an American common: "That is American writing at its best - simpler than Hemingway; as easy and direct as that of another Missouri-born copy writer...Make Twain."
