Jean Toomer was just a mixed-up American intellectual until a chance trip to Georgia in the 1920s awakened in him the black part of his identity and produced a southern masterpiece, Cane. In this programme, compiled by David Perry , Hugh Quarshie reads from the book and from Toomer's letters and diary, while the writer
Toni Morrison comments on the man and his work. Producer Piers Plowright
