Publisher's summary

Cane is a 1923 classical modernist novel by the Harlem Renaissance author Jean Toomer. The work is structured as a series of vignettes revolving around the origins and experiences of African Americans in the United States. They alternate in structure between prose, poetry, and play-like passages of dialogue to form a composite novel or a short story cycle. Most vignettes stand on their own but there are recurring characters and situations, and a thematic and contextual connection throughout. The "Harvest Song" passage has been included in poetry anthologies while several other vignettes have been anthologized in literary collections.
