gijs 's review for:

Not Without Laughter by Langston Hughes
3.0

Hughes is obviously a better poet than fiction writer, but then again he is an exceptionally gifted poet; in telling 'Not without laughter' Hughes paints the life of Sandy Rogers, a young African American boy in small-town Kansas, and his various family members; all vignettes of stereotypical experiences of people of color in early twentieth century racially segregated America. Be sure to check out Hughes magisterial poetry; [b:The Collected Poems|133906|The Collected Poems|Langston Hughes|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1701607425l/133906._SX50_.jpg|129000].
