Why read it?
1 author picked When Harlem Was in Vogue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love this book because it gives you all the juicy stories and details about Black artists during the Harlem Renaissance. Their relationships with each other were all so messy and complicated, and I love learning about my favorite artists and writers who have inspired me as people who were deeply imperfect rather than untouchable, saint-like literary figures who could not be critiqued. It helped me see this as more human.
From Ravynn's list on Black American artist who studies abroad.
