About this book

A Raisin in the Sun is the best-known work of author and playwright Lorraine Hansberry. It debuted on Broadway in 1959, making Hansberry the first African American woman to achieve this honor. The title comes from the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes. 

First line

The unmistakable grating noise of an alarm clock intrudes as we move over the city-stained brick building.

About the author

Lorraine Hansberry (1930-1965) electrified the theatrical world with her first play, A Raisin in the Sun, which won the New York Critics Circle Award for the 1958-59 season. Before her tragic death from cancer at the age of 34, she had already produced a remarkable body of work, including The Sign in Sidney Brustein's Window and Les Blancs. Her former husband and literary executor, the late Robert Nemiroff, posthumously produced and published her To Be Young, Gifted and Black and the musical Raisin.

Robert Nemiroff (1929-1991) was a Broadway producer and the literary executor of Lorraine Hansberry's estate.
