Book Description The address book of Carl Van Vechten, novelist, critic, and photographer, could easily have been mistaken for a Who's Who of American luminaries in the arts, academe, civil rights, and politics.

DuBois, Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie, Billie Holiday, Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston, Mahalia Jackson, and Richard Wright. |
