Conclusion:
- I agree with other readers
- ….this book is comprehensive and very detailed.
- It is important to realize that there
- …are different types of non-fiction:
- literary non-fiction vs commercial non-fiction:
- There’s a difference between the book as
- cultural work of art and the book as entertainment
- …in the same way that there’s a
- difference between a classical symphony and a musical.
- If you are looking for a high octane entertainment buzz…
- you may be disappointed…as I was.
- If you see this book as a glimpse into an area of progress
- in the Harlem Renaissance…and all that has come out of
- that movement...you will be delighted.
- It depends on what you are looking for.
