Zora Neale Hurston

Hello, and welcome to my blog site :)

Zora Neale Hurston was a very famous writer of the 20th century. She is considered one of the most preeminent writers of the 20th century. She wrote many books, like Their Eyes Were Watching God, Mules and Men, and Every Tongue Got To Confess. Zora was mainly associated with the Harlem Renaissance.

Hurston was born January 7, 1903 and died January 28, 1960. She was born in Nostagula, Alabama, and grew up in Florida. She went to Howard University, while working as a manicurist so she could afford her payments. Zora went up to New York City, and then started writing fiction. She started her study of anthropology there.

Their Eyes Were Watching God is a Southern love story about an independent and light skinned Janie Crawford. She went through three marriages, poverty, trials, and purpose. The story is told by a woman who refuses to live in mushy romantic dreams, fear, sadness, or hatred. The story is witty, filled with heartfelt wisdom and beauty, and entertaining with all of the Southern dialect involved. It is a wide read highly regarded story in African Literature.
