I Wonder as I Wander: An Autobiographical Journey by Langston Hughes

adventurous emotional funny hopeful inspiring fast-paced

5.0

Just spectacular. An expertly written and engaging record of Hughes’ travels through major historically significant countries, providing a unique historical black voice in a whitewashed history of Cold War fanaticism. Hughes’ world is filled with art, culture, and people, to a degree that this almost begins to feel like fiction. The ground this covers and the ideas it brings up are so disparate yet unified in their humanity that putting it down is just about impossible. I would venture to say this is a must-read
