Zora! Reinforced library binding - 2012
by Fradin, Dennis Brindell; Judith Bloom Fradin
The life and times of African American writer Zora Neale Hurston, a larger-than-life personality, controversial advocate of equal rights, and brilliant author of Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Summary
Zora Neale Hurston was confident, charismatic, and determined to be extraordinary.
As a young woman, Hurston lived and wrote alongside such prominent authors as
Langston Hughes and Alain Locke during the Harlem Renaissance. But unfortunately,
despite writing the luminary work Their Eyes Were Watching God, she was always short
of money. Though she took odd jobs as a housemaid and as the personal assistant to
an actress, Zora often found herself in abject poverty. Through it all, Zora kept writing.
And though none of her books sold more than a thousand copies while she was alive,
she was rediscovered a decade later by a new generation of readers, who knew they
had found an important voice of American Literature.
