Compare Simple's Uncle Sam by Langston Hughes, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A writer of poetry, theatre, autobiographies, and fiction, Langston Hughes is one of the most lauded literary figures to date. One of his most intriguing works revolves around the character Jesse B. Simple, otherwise known as "Simple." In Simple`s Uncle Sam he is the Everyman for African Americans, the eyes and ears of a people, a poser of questions and a seeker of answers. Leaving no subject untouched - women, Gospel music, sports heroes - and even daring to delve into politics and race, Simple is a wide-eyed wanderer who remains as sage-like to today`s readers as he did to readers several years ago. | Simple's Uncle Sam by Langston Hughes, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
