  <description><![CDATA[In her time, Hurston was praised for her writing and condemned for her independence and audaciousness. Today she is acknowledged for her pivotal role in the tradition of African-American women's writing. This unique anthology draws together 14 superb selections from her essays, short stories, journalism, folklore, and autobiography, including excerpts from Dust Tracks on the Road, Mules and Men, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and other now-classic works. The original commentary by Alice Walker and Mary Helen Washington provides illuminating insights into Hurston, as well as into American social and cultural history.]]></description>

    <![CDATA[   The most prolific African-American woman author from 1920 to 1950, Hurston was praised for her writing and condemned for her independence, arrogance, and audaciousness. This unique anthology, with 14 superb examples of her fiction, journalism, folklore, and autobiography, rightfully establishes her as the intellectual and spiritual leader of the next generation of black writers. In addition to six essays and short stories, the collection includes excerpts from <em>Dust Tracks on the Road</em>; <em>Mules and Me</em>; <em>Tell My Horse</em>; <em>Jonah's Gourd Vine</em>; <em>Moses, Man of the Mountain</em>; and <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>. The original commentary by Alice Walker and Mary Helen Washington, two African-American writers in the forefront of the Hurston revival, provide illuminating insights into Hurston-the writer, the person-as well as into American social and cultural history.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[This is a beautiful collection of short writings (fiction, folklore, autobiographical) from the author of &quot;Their Eyes Were Watching God.&quot; I love Hurston's style and sense of humour in her fiction, and the wonderful way she weaves her own life story in this book.

    <![CDATA[   The most prolific African-American woman author from 1920 to 1950, Hurston was praised for her writing and condemned for her independence, arrogance, and audaciousness. This unique anthology, with 14 superb examples of her fiction, journalism, folklore, and autobiography, rightfully establishes her as the intellectual and spiritual leader of the next generation of black writers. In addition to six essays and short stories, the collection includes excerpts from <em>Dust Tracks on the Road</em>; <em>Mules and Me</em>; <em>Tell My Horse</em>; <em>Jonah's Gourd Vine</em>; <em>Moses, Man of the Mountain</em>; and <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>. The original commentary by Alice Walker and Mary Helen Washington, two African-American writers in the forefront of the Hurston revival, provide illuminating insights into Hurston-the writer, the person-as well as into American social and cultural history.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Zora Neale Hurston is one of the most fascinating people to ever live, and she can prove it. This collection is a great primer. I stupidly lent it to a boy I had a crush on and he never gave it back. Which helps console me having had the crush in the first place, but man... I want my book back.]]></body>

  <description>
    <![CDATA[   The most prolific African-American woman author from 1920 to 1950, Hurston was praised for her writing and condemned for her independence, arrogance, and audaciousness. This unique anthology, with 14 superb examples of her fiction, journalism, folklore, and autobiography, rightfully establishes her as the intellectual and spiritual leader of the next generation of black writers. In addition to six essays and short stories, the collection includes excerpts from <em>Dust Tracks on the Road</em>; <em>Mules and Me</em>; <em>Tell My Horse</em>; <em>Jonah's Gourd Vine</em>; <em>Moses, Man of the Mountain</em>; and <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>. The original commentary by Alice Walker and Mary Helen Washington, two African-American writers in the forefront of the Hurston revival, provide illuminating insights into Hurston-the writer, the person-as well as into American social and cultural history.]]>
