{"product_id":"a-raisin-in-the-sun-modern-library","title":"A Raisin in the Sun (Modern Library)","description":"\"Never before, the entire history of the American theater, has so much of the truth of black people's lives been seen on the stage,\" observed James Baldwin shortly before A Raisin in the Sun opened on Broadway in 1959.\n\nIndeed Lorraine Hansberry's award-winning drama about the hopes and aspirations of a struggling, working-class family living on the South Side of Chicago connected profoundly with the psyche of black America--and changed American theater forever. The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem \"Harlem,\" which warns that a dream deferred might \"dry up\/like a raisin in the sun.\"\n\n\"The events of every passing year add resonance to A Raisin in the Sun,\" said The New York Times. \"It is as if history is conspiring to make the play a classic.\" This Modern Library edition presents the fully restored, uncut version of Hansberry's landmark work with an introduction by Robert Nemiroff.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679601724\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKGRJ00DYYS_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hansberry, Lorraine\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
