About the author

Zora Neale Hurston

Hurston was the most important woman writer of the Harlem Renaissance, combining anthropological fieldwork with literary genius to produce Their Eyes Were Watching God and a rich body of non-fiction about African American and Caribbean folk culture. Her memoir Dust Tracks on a Road is richly self-creating.
