The play's title comes from a line in Langston Hughes's poem \"Harlem,\" which warns that a dream deferred might \"dry up\/like a raisin in the sun.\"\n\n\"The events of every passing year add resonance to A Raisin in the Sun,\" said The New York Times. \"It is as if history is conspiring to make the play a classic.\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0679755330\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: RDV.0679755330.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lorraine Hansberry\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Mass Market Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This book is in good condition with very minimal damage.
