DeCarava, Roy & Langston Hughes, The Sweet Flypaper of Life, New York, Simon & Schuster, 1955, first printing, 12mo (7" x 4.75"), SB, b/w photographic paper wraps w/ white titles, G+ / none. Covers chipped and quite edgeworn, extremities chipped, somewhat soiled, owner.
98 pp. Profuse b/w photos. "The Sweet Flypaper of Life" describes, in words and pictures, what the authors have seen and known and felt deeply about their people. Life in Harlem may be hard: getting up each morning and going to work, knowing that today will be like yesterday and tomrorow. Yet there are rewards, moments -- a man walking in the sun, a woman laughing, couples in the park, the watering of a garden on a window sill, a father's touch, a child's glance. 'We've had so many books about how bad life is,' Langston Hughes says. 'Maybe it's time to have one showing how good it is.'"
• Listed in Andrew Roth’s, The Book of 101 Books: Seminal Photographic Books of the 20th Century. [Book ID # 1031]
