Description
[HUGHES, Langston (1901-1967)]. BROWN, Sterling A. Southern Road. New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1932.

8vo. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket (a few separations, tears and small losses). Provenance: Noël Sullivan (bookplate); by descent to present owner.

FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED: "For Noël at Christmas 1933 Langston.” Hughes planned to enjoy the holidays in San Francisco and Carmel in 1933 because he “needed to rest…. The highlight of the vacation was probably a surprise birthday party for Noël Sullivan given a day early, on Christmas Eve, by several of his black friends” (Rampersad, Life, Vol. I, p.283). On Christmas day, Hughes made his way to several friends’ homes, dining with Sullivan and then ending the day with champagne at Sullivan’s beach home in Carmel-by-the-Sea, ‘Ennesfree’” (ibid., p.282).

[With:] EMBREE, Edwin R. 13 Against the Odds. New York: The Viking Press, 1944. Original cloth; pictorial dust jacket (some chipping and small losses). FIRST EDITION, INSCRIBED: "To Noël -- Sincerely -- Langston Hughes." ADDITIONALLY SIGNED by Edwin R. Embree, March 1944.


Fine African Americana from the Collections of Noël Sullivan & William P. and Alice D. Mahoney
