Hope had not yet been completely destroyed. Nostalgia, to some extent, had been intensified in a generation that was beginning to close its eyes to looming disasters." "It is interesting to read this book in the last decade of the twentieth century and discover its premise acutely timely and painfully urgent. The difficulties Hughes's characters encountered in his setting sixty years ago are sadly very much present today. The grit and persistence they used to overcome are happily still with us today. And the laughter they employed to put disadvantage into a manageable place has been, is, and will remain a shelter which gives a needful people succor and a shelter in a time of storm." "A lyrical, charming and moving story of a black Midwestern boy." "Langston Hughes has succeeded in giving us in NOT WITHOUT LAUGHTER an intimate picture of that type of Negro life which has been so popular with white writers in the recent decade." First lineAunt Hager Williams stood in her doorway and looked out at the sun. AnnotationA young African-American boy comes of age and becomes painfully aware of both the sad and the beautiful realities of life in his small Kansas town.
