About the book
"The Big Sea was the first volume of Langston's autiobiography. The second volume, I Wonder as I Wander. Together they are among the wisest, warmest, and most informative books to issue from Langston's pen, and by that to say from the Renaissance or any other literary movement." Amiri Baraka, from the bookjacket.
