Reader responds to Hurston story
Thanks to blog member Margaret Boone for her comments on Hurston’s work.
My Atlanta book club read Their Eyes Were Watching God soon after it came out in the late 70’s and it was very interesting and well written. I still remember some of Hurston’s images and turns of phrase. Barracoon is a compilation of her interviews with Cudjo and does not read like a novel, but as an historical document it is very interesting and I’m glad I took the time to read it.
