<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Landmark Harlem Renaissance work combines poetry, drama, and storytelling to contrast African-American life in the rural South with that of the urban North. "I love it passionately." -- Alice Walker.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>"[<i>Cane</i>] has been reverberating in me to an astonishing degree. I love it passionately; could not possibly exit without it." -- Alice Walker <br> "A breakthrough in prose and poetical writing .... This book should be on all readers' and writers' desks and in their minds." -- Maya Angelou <br> Hailed by critics for its literary experimentation and vivid portrayal of African-American characters and culture, <i>Cane</i> represents one of the earliest expressions of the Harlem Renaissance. Combining poetry, drama, and storytelling, it contrasts life in an African-American community in the rural South with that of the urban North. <br> Author Jean Toomer (1894-1967) drew upon his experiences as a teacher in rural Georgia to create a variety of Southern psychological realism that ranks alongside the best works of William Faulkner. The book's three-part structure, ranging from South to North and back again, is united by its focus on the lives of African-American men and women in a world of bigotry, violence, passion, and tenderness.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A native of Washington, D.C., Jean Toomer (1894-1967) took a four-month teaching job in Georgia in 1921. Here the poet, playwright, and novelist reconnected with his African-American roots to create his best-known work, <i>Cane, </i> a book of prose poetry inspired by the people and landscapes of the Deep South.
