Description
A celebrated novelist, pioneering folklorist, and fiercely independent spirit whose genius was nearly forgotten.Zora Neale Hurston's life (1891-1960) is one of American literature's great paradoxes. From the vibrant, self-governed Black sanctuary of Eatonville, Florida, she rose to become a star of the Harlem Renaissance and the author of the masterpiece, Their Eyes Were Watching God.
