These engaging and wonderfully alive letters paint an intimate portrait of two of the most important and influential figures of the Harlem Renaissance.

But the relationship quickly grew into a great friendship--and for nearly four decades the two men wrote to each other expressively and constantly. Description text copyright 2017 BooksForComfort.
