1.Their Eyes Were Watching GodTheir Eyes Were Watching God
from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $10.85

Customer Review:
The only speedbump in this maddeningly addictive read is Hurston's rendering of dialect, spelled just as it's pronounced. Once you acclimate, and once you know that her writing was based on her astounding academic work as a folklorist and anthropologist, it only takes a few pages before you realize... more info

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $11.19

Customer Review:
This book includes a small section on Jamaica but concentrates mainly on vodou practices in Haiti. I am impressed with Hurston's skill as a travel writer in the section on Jamaica. The images from the island are vivid and written in a lush style. She includes lots of descriptions of Jamaicans' folk... more info

Customer Review:
This audio production on CD of Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is beautifully read by Ruby Dee.

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $11.86

Customer Review:
This was a book I felt I needed to have read for my general education and rounding as a person.
I am aware of what people say about the way Hurston fabricated her life for this autobiography, but isn't all of history in some way fabricated and presented through someone's eyes? I mean, this is... more info

from Harper Perennial Modern Classics
Price: $11.89

Customer Review:
Aside from the controversy of the dispute between Hughes and Hurston, I deal with the story and play itself.
The play "Mule Bone" is based on "The Bone of Contention," a 1930 short story by the Queen of Black Folklore (ZNH) based on a folktale from her hometown of Eatonville Fla. about two men... more info

from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.01

Customer Review:
It's a collection of tales featuring Brer Rabbit and many other critters. Plus there are numerous tales about people.
Hurston collected the stories in the 1920s, and the language used is slave vernacular with plentiful occurrences of 'nigger.' I grew up with the language and enjoyed reading it... more info

This book and its companion from the library of america, have everything that Hurston wrote - except some unedited manuscripts, and some articles and short stories.

Isaac Bashevis Singer with a tan....and breasts. That's what I was thinking of Zora Neale Hurston as I read her Complete Stories, except she's not as good a writer nor tale teller. Or, perhaps a less skilled Sherwood Anderson. There is a sense one gets when reading these tales that Hurston was born... more info

I am using this text as mainly research for an honors thesis I am writing for my Undergraduate English major.

This is a beautifully written telling of the story of Moses leading the Hebrews slaves from Egypt to their freedom.

The Sanctified Church by Zora Neale Hurston

THIS BOOK IS WONDERFUL! HURSTON IS A WONDERFUL WRITER. IT IS A SHAME THAT SUCH A TALENTED WRITER DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH RECOGNITION UNTIL AFTER HER DEMISE.
