The plays title comes from a line in Langston Hughess 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.\" This Modern Library edition presents the fully restored, uncut version of Hansberrys landmark work with an introduction by Robert Nemiroff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45118146248757,"sku":"ByrdShop_0375508333","price":93.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780375508332_6e48f455-022a-4b68-a3aa-0ae5b9abe3ad.jpg?v=1781057544","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/a-raisin-in-the-sun-9780375508332","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
