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 tomorrow. 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."
