内容简介

Zora Neale Hurston is regarded as an integral part of the Harlem Renaissance and one of the most important and influential African American writers of the past century. "Lost years" have been found, birth dates discovered, and the intricacies of relationships with friends, spouses, and family members have been uncovered, but there is still a part of Hurston's life that is not accounted for. She often faced challenges in terms of constant ill health, personal and professional disappointments, struggles to fund her projects, even the inability sometimes to buy groceries. This new biography takes into account the whole woman, the writer, the philosopher, and the spiritual soul, examining each as it is reflected in her career, fiction and nonfiction publications, social and political activity, and, ultimately, her death.
