In I Wonder as I Wander, Langston Hughes vividly recalls the most dramatic and intimate moments of his life in the turbulent 1930s.
His wanderlust leads him to Cuba, Haiti, Russia, Soviet Central Asia, Japan, Spain (during its Civil War), through dictatorships, wars, revolutions. He meets and brings to life the famous and the humble, from Arthur Koestler to Emma, the Black Mammy of Moscow. It is the continuously amusing, wise revelation of an American writer journeying around the often strange and always exciting world he loves.

      The best autobiographies speak to us and say, "Listen to my story as I want to tell it." This work is an excellent example of such a book. Part travelogue and part history of the world of the 1930s, Hughes's memoir uses poetry and text to remind us that times may change, but the human condition often stays remarkably the same. Narrator Dominic Hoffman does a masterful job with this book. In a slightly hoarse voice and an understated tone, Hoffman connects with the author's words, pauses at the right moments, and allows us to follow every word clearly. When he reads Hughes's poetry, we can imagine the author speaking directly to us. It's marvelous. Grab this audiobook any way you can. R.I.G.
