The Short Stories of Langston Hughes

Very good book. Stories are short and enjoyable.

Langston Hughes is a gifted writer and a great storyteller. He is very effective in telling one story from multiple viewpoints.I read the book for my book club.

I've been a fan of his poetry for ages but only recently started his prose fiction. The short stories in this volume are poignant, realistic and understated. The sparseness of the style only emphasises the weighty subject matter.

Langston Hughes is an incredible poet, and his short stories do not disappoint. The language is poetically eloquent, and the plotting is subtle, but powerful. Outstanding work!

Many lovely stories, with all the lyricism and poeticism I expect from Langston Hughes' work.

Shuttled me back through time yet still has a modern possibility! Tragic. Triumphant! Masterful! Powerful! Each stands as a masterpiece!

I used this in teaching the 10th grade and loved the stories so much that I reread them all the time. This particular book was bought for my new Great grandbaby whose name is Langston.

If ever there was a master of the short story Mr. Hughes is the one. This is a moving, beautiful collection of amazing writing.
