Synopsis
In this rambunctious satire, Wallace Thurman, one of the leading figures of the Harlem Renaissance, takes his fellow artists and critics to task. The setting is a buzzing apartment building in 1930s Harlem, where avatars for the likes of Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Countee Cullen, and Thurman himself come together to push past old boundaries and test out new ideas. But the heat of this collective energy soon threatens to consume them all, as wild parties, jealous rages, and intellectual conflicts turn the literary circle into an out-of-control hothouse of personal drama. Based on the author’s own experiences, Infants of the Spring overflows with the theories and ideas of the Harlem Renaissance (to say nothing of criticisms and judgments that Thurman may have had about them). Perhaps because of that direct connection to this uniquely generative cultural moment, the book remains a vital novel about sex, race, gender, radical fervor, and artistic ambition.
Revised edition: Previously published as Infants of the Spring, this edition of Infants of the Spring includes editorial revisions.

À propos de l?auteur
Wallace Henry Thurman (1902–1934) was born in Salt Lake City, Utah. After attending the University of Southern California, Thurman relocated to New York City in 1925, where his prolific career as journalist, editor, poet, dramatist, and novelist propelled him into the vanguard of the Harlem Renaissance. Thurman founded several journals devoted to African American culture and the arts; became the first African American reader for a major New York publishing company; contributed to Fire!!, a literary magazine for African American writers; and worked as a ghostwriter for the Jazz Age magazine True Story. He also published three novels, including The Blacker the Berry and Infants of the Spring, which established Thurman as one of the era’s most gifted and controversial writers.
