About this title: Poet Langston Hughes met the critic Carl Van Vechten at a party in 1924. Shortly thereafter Van Vechten introduced Hughes's poems to Alfred Knopf, who published THE WEARY BLUES, a favor that was the beginning of a lasting friendship between Hughes and Van Vechten. This volume of letters offers insight about their relationship, and, with reference to African-American superstars Countee Cullen, Bessie Smith, and others, this correspondence is a portrait of an age.
