Jonah's Gourd Vine: A Novel (P.S.)
Zora Neale Hurston
Harper Perennial Modern Classics
, 2008
One of the best books I have ever read
I always thought of Toni Morrison as the leader, the queen, and the matriarch of black women's fiction, but the more I read of Zora Neale Hurston, the more I feel that everyone else must have taken their cues from her! Her writing is enchanting and thought ...
Moses, Man of the Mountain
Zora Neale Hurston
Harper Perennial

Brilliant examination of race, class, politics, conviction
This is a brilliant novel. Hurston retells the story of Moses through the lens of black history and of her own day; the reader can see Hitler in Pharoah, the ghettos of Europe and America in Goshen. The Hebrews of Hurston's tale are European Jews under National ...

Inspired
If Ms Hurston finally gets the readers she deserves, she will take her place among America's finest writers of the 20th Century. She is a joy to read and repays second and third perusals. The oral narrative quality of her writing places her squarely in the company of ...
Their Eyes Were Watching God CD
Zora Neale Hurston
Caedmon
, 2004
An outstanding reading of a seminal work of American literature
This was my first book on CD, and honestly I wasn't sure what to expect. _Their Eyes Were Watching God_ is a wonderful story about finding yourself, living, and love, but the Southern vernacular Hurston uses can be an obstacle in its reading. On the advice of a ...

Any Hurston writing is worth the reading
The debate of whether Ms Hurston was a true Harlem Renaissance writer is does so little justice to her contributions to that scene that I spent an entire semester debating it. Of course she was and she was one of the writers who helped give it its significance. Just ...

An Amazing Book
There's a good chance you're buying this book because it's assigned reading for a class. Go into that classroom and THANK YOUR TEACHER. I didn't read this book in school. I stumbled upon when I was done with school. I bought it because I thought the title was ...

Dust Tracks on a Road: An Autobiography (P.S.)
Zora Neale Hurston

This autobiography focuses equally on her opinions (highly untraditional)and her life (also highly unorthodox) giving the reader an unashamed glance to peer into the deepest wells of her being.

The Queen of Black Folklore
Whne I was 12 years old in the Summer of 1977, I found this book at the local library. I immediately saw the connection between this and the tales my father and older Blacks told around town, and this led ot my lifelong interest in folklore. This book was actually ...

Black folklore from Ground Zero
Prior to Zora Neale Hurston, the rich well of black folklore was laargely written by white writers such as Joel Chandler Harris and Roark Bradford among others, with varying degrees of accuracy. Most literate and educated blacks were too ashamed of their folk cutlure ...
Mule Bone: A Comedy of Negro Life in Three Acts
Zora Neale Hurston,
Langston Hughes
Harper Perennial
, 1991
Dramatizing Folklore
We are fortunate that this play was finally produced well over 50 years after it was written. Hurston and Hughes wrote an interesting play that needs a bit of fine tuning in order to be a truly great play. If they had been able to stage this production in the 1930s, ...
