About This Item
Athens:: University of Georgia Press,, 1990.. First Printing of the First Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright dust jacket. The author traces author Jean Toomer's literary decline, after his exploration of African-American roots in his book "Cane", as he became more involved in the theories and teachings of George Gurdjieff from 1924 into the 1930s. Toomer was hailed as a fresh and important African-American literary voice in the early Twenties but never fulfilled his true potential as a writer once he turned to writing on behalf of Gurdjieff's philosophy.
