Description

Cane is a 1923 novel by noted Harlem Renaissance author Jean Toomer.

The novel is structured as a series of vignettes revolving around the origins and experiences of African Americans in the United States.

The vignettes alternate in structure between narrative prose, poetry, and play-like passages of dialogue.

As a result, the novel has been classified as a composite novel or as a short story cycle.

Though some characters and situations recur between vignettes, the vignettes are mostly freestanding, tied to the other vignettes thematically and contextually more than through specific plot details.

The ambitious, nontraditional structure of the novel - and its later influence on future generations of writers - have helped Cane gain status as a classic of modernism.
