    <![CDATA[<p>As a first-hand account of the weird mysteries and horrors of voodoo, <em>Tell My Horse</em> is an invaluable resource and fascinating guide. Based on Zora Neale Hurston's personal experiences in Haiti and Jamaica, where she participated as an initiate rather than just an observer of voodoo practices during her visits in the 1930s, this travelogue into a dark world paints a vividly authentic picture of ceremonies and customs and superstitions of great cultural interest.</p>]]>

    <body><![CDATA[A really fun travelogue and account of Jamaica and Haiti, with flashes of Hurston's signature satiric wit and stunning metaphoric imagery.

Above all, I think by the e...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/6611868">more...</a>]]></body>
