Langston Hughes was a master of many literary forms - poetry, plays, essays, novels, and memoirs. But it is as a short-story writer that his talents combined in an especially vibrant way: his gift for humor and irony, his love of the vernacular, his brilliance in depicting character, and his profound perceptions about American life. This new collection of forty-seven stories written between 1919 and 1963 - the most comprehensive available - showcases Hughes's literary blossoming and the development of his personal and political concerns. Many of the stories assembled here have long been out of print, and many have never before been collected. Included are Hughes's first stories, "Those Who Have No Turkey" and "Seventy-five Dollars," written for his high-school newspaper; his early work published in the groundbreaking African-American journals. The Crisis and The Messenger; and his later, masterful stories from Laughing to Keep from Crying, Something in Common, and The Ways of White Folks. These stories demonstrate Hughes's uncanny gift for elucidating the most vexing questions of American race relations and human nature in general. They are at once poignant, witty, angry, and deeply poetic.… (meer)

Reading the first few stories, I thought there was nothing remarkable about them. They were pleasant enough.
By the time I came to the end of the book, the accumulated weight of the lived experience of Hughes' various Black characters allowed me to feel how oppression can accumulate thru a multitude of small indignities. Each story depicts moments in a Black American's life, sometimes momentous moments but often just daily experiences.
One character, an unnamed seaman, is the protagonist for a number of these stories and apparently draws on Hughes' own experiences working on a freighter. To me, these highlight the universality of prejudice against people of black heritage. This is a sad commentary on the state of humanity. ( )

This collection of 47 stories written between 1910 and 1963 -- the most comprehensive available -- showcases Langston Hughes''s literary blossoming and the development of his personal and artistic concerns. Many of these stories have long been out of print, and others never before collected. These poignant, witty,, angry and deeply poetic stories demonstrate Hughes's uncanny gift of elucidating the most vexing questions of American race relations and human nature in general.
