Conclusion:

1. I agree with other readers
2. ….this book is comprehensive and very detailed.
3. It is important to realize that there
4. …are different types of non-fiction:
5. literary non-fiction vs commercial non-fiction:
6. There’s a difference between the book as
7. cultural work of art and the book as entertainment
8. …in the same way that there’s a
9. difference between a classical symphony and a musical.
10. If you are looking for a high octane entertainment buzz…
11. you may be disappointed…as I was.
12. If you see this book as a glimpse into an area of progress
13. in the Harlem Renaissance…and all that has come out of
