Harlem Summer ReviewMark is at a crossroads in his life in Harlem in the 1920s. He has the dream of becoming a great saxophone player but doesn't have the discipline to practice. His hero, Fats, cons him into loading bootleg liquor onto a truck, and when the truck goes missing, a gangster threatens them. Mark isn't terribly worried, at first.
He goes with the flow and dutifully starts a summer job, arranged by his aunt, at The Crisis magazine, headed by W.E.B. DuBois. Mark encounters many other greats such as Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, and Ethel Waters. He attends a glamorous party at the home of publisher Alfred Knopf and just misses hearing Marian Anderson sing.
In a marvelous twist ending, Mark is freed from a life of crime, and inspired by great writers and singers, he comes to appreciate hard work and his own community. Walter Dean Myers gives us the Harlem Renaissance as seen through the eyes of a tremendously likeable main character. It is a treat to read the conversations between the young Mark and Langston Hughes. (Photographs of the real famous and infamous characters, during this time period, are included in an appendix.) Mark is a teenager that other teens can relate to; he doesn't have quite enough drive until he finds the right role models. Harlem Summer is filled with humor, glamour, and danger and recreates an important era in the twentieth century.
