Book Description
I was always curious about the diaries of granny. The family told stories that were passed down generation to generation but the actual diaries in hand will tell the true story of her life. She had faith in God that sustained her through her hardship in life. She lived through historical events that will encourage others to stand firm in their beliefs. Her deafness was no obstacle to her as she wrote the diary books. I hope the readers will be enlightened as they read this book.

My Dear Boy
Author: Carrie HughesPublisher: University of Georgia Press
ISBN: 082034639X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
My Dear Boy brings a largely unexplored dimension of Langston Hughes to light. Carmaletta Williams and John Edgar Tidwell explain that scholars have neglected the vital role that correspondence between Carrie Hughes and her son Langston--Harlem Renaissance icon, renowned poet, playwright, fiction writer, autobiographer, and essayist--played in his work. The more than 120 heretofore unexamined letters presented here are a veritable treasure trove of insights into the relationship between mother Carrie and her renowned son Langston. Until now, a scholarly consensus had begun to emerge, accepting the idea of their lives and his art as simple and transparent. But as Williams and Tidwell argue, this correspondence is precisely where scholars should start in order to understand the underlying complexity in Carrie and Langston's relationship. By employing Family Systems Theory for the first time in Hughes scholarship, they demonstrate that it is an essential heuristic for analyzing the Hughes family and its influence on his work. The study takes the critical truism about Langston's reticence to reveal his inner self and shows how his responses to Carrie were usually not in return letters but, instead, in his created art. Thus My Dear Boy reveals the difficult negotiations between family and art that Langston engaged in as he attempted to sustain an elusive but enduring artistic reputation.
