Zora Neale Hurston Books, Quotes, and Other Writings
Zora Neale Hurston (January 7, 1891 – January 28, 1960) was an African-American novelist, memoirist, and folklorist. Born in Notasulga, Alabama, she was raised in Eatonville, Florida. With her determined intelligence and bold personality, she quickly became a big name in the Harlem Renaissance movement of the 1920s.
Having had a remarkable dual career as a writer (producing novels, short stories, plays, and essays) and as an anthropologist, it’s surprising that she died largely alone and forgotten. Yet how fortunate that her rediscovery, spearheaded by Alice Walker, reignited interest in her words and work. Here’s our Literary Ladies Guide to Zora Neale Hurston books, quotes, excerpts and other literary musings that can be found on our site.
