T]his delightful roman clef about the Harlem Renaissance reflects . . . many of the competing notions of its time -- between the masses and individuality, between art and uplift, between civilization and primitivism, between separatism and assimilation. -- Kirkus ReviewsThis minor classic of the Harlem Renaissance centers on the larger-than-life inhabitants of Niggerati Manor, an apartment building modeled on the rooming house where the author once lived among other celebrated black artists and writers. Enlivened by characters based on Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, and Alain Locke, Wallace Thurman's rollicking novel satirizes the cultural confusion surrounding a golden age of African-American art and literature.
Infants of the Spring was originally published in 1932 -- shortly after the author's ground-breaking novel on interracial prejudice, The Blacker the Berry, and two years before his untimely death. Thurman's elegant prose and witty characterizations offer revealing insights into conflicts within the African-American artistic community as well as the struggle to maintain artistic integrity.

A well done graphic novel for children
Format: Hardcover
A graphic novel for middle and high schoolers that personifies animals vis-a-vis “Animal Farm”. The illustration is well done and the prose is easily understandable by children. An adult will probably be needed to explain the metaphors.

Modern Day Animal Farm
Format: Paperback
📚Animal Pound
✍🏻Tom King
Blurb:
When animals grow tired of being caged and abused, it’s only a matter of time before they have nothing to lose but their cages… When an uprising puts a pound in control of the animals, they make quick comrades, united against everything that walks on two legs. But with this newfound power comes a sudden challenge: how best to lay the groundwork for this new democracy as they write their first constitution. The conditions are ripe for a dictator, primed for instating a new system of brutality and death. When two groups of animals work together will their efforts be enough to prevent further animal authoritarianism?
Discover a timely graphic storytelling event from celebrated New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-winning writer Tom King (The Human Target, Love Everlasting) and New York Times bestselling, Eisner Award-nominated artist Peter Gross (American Jesus, The Books of Magic), collaborating for the first time ever to bring this enduring Orwellian allegory to life for the 21st Century. Collects Animal Pound #1-5.
My Thoughts:
A retelling of Animal Farm but for modern audiences. Instead of focusing on the dangers of communism, it instead focuses on the dangers of fascism. I would say it's very heavy-handed in its obvious critique of the MAGA crowd, but also frightfully accurate and does very well at evoking emotion from you, the reader, who probably also just like me, would be very frustrated watching everyone fall for the the DJT-allegory.. This is the rare graphic novel meant to be given to non comics readers.
Thanks NetGalley, BOOM! Studios and Author Tom King for the advanced copy of "Animal Pound" I am leaving my voluntary review in appreciation.

Modern Day Animal Farm
Format: Hardcover
This is a MUST read, quickly, before it is banned. King captures the modern political landscaper perfectly from the blind cult like following to the concerned and ignored, to the bullying, violence and normalization of the bizarre. This may be the most important Graphic Novel of the last 25 years. Were I a wealthy man I would purchase a copy for every American History Classroom.
