| 1. |  | Their 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... |

| 2. |  | Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica (P.S.) 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... |

| 4. |  | Their Eyes Were Watching God CD from Caedmon Price: $24.82 Customer Review: This audio production on CD of Zora Neale Hurston's "Their Eyes Were Watching God" is beautifully read by Ruby Dee. Hurston was known for her ability to write in the dialect of the rural South, thereby imbuing her work with a verisimilitude that makes it possible for a modern reader to feel... |

| 5. |  | Dust Tracks on a Road: An Autobiography (P.S.) 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... |

| 6. |  | Mule Bone: A Comedy of Negro Life (P.S.) 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... |

| 7. |  | Seraph on the Suwanee: A Novel (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $11.24 Customer Review: Hurston had a way of delving into human emotions and the ways of the heart. This book is a sterling example. |

| 8. |  | Every Tongue Got to Confess: Negro Folk-tales from the Gulf States 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... |

| 12. |  | The Complete Stories (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $10.92 Customer Review: 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... |

Although it was extremely helpful making connections and describing Hurston the author, it was also extremely enjoyable, holding not only critical essays but exerpts as well. I'd recommend... |

| 15. |  | Moses, Man of the Mountain (P.S.) from Harper Perennial Modern Classics Price: $11.19 Customer Review: This is a beautifully written telling of the story of Moses leading the Hebrews slaves from Egypt to their freedom. However, it is told from the point of view of the people, and in this case, the people speak in the vernacular of the Black people who lived in the southern United States over fifty... |

| 18. |  | The Sanctified Church from Marlowe&Co Customer Review: The Sanctified Church by Zora Neale Hurston I enjoyed this book. I say Ms. Zora spoke truth to power. I personally believe the sanctified church is the keeper of black traditions. One excerpt that really spoke truth to me is the following: "In the mouth of the Negro the English language... |

IT IS A SHAME THAT SUCH A TALENTED WRITER DID NOT RECEIVE MUCH RECOGNITION UNTIL AFTER HER DEMISE. "THE GILDED SIX-BITS" HAS TO BE THE MOST COMPELLING SHORT STORY WITHIN THIS ANTHOLOGY. IT IS A VIVID TALE THAT TRULY REFLECTS THE POWER OF MONEY.... |

The cover art is cool, quite vibrant and just the right mix... |
