Honestly, if I didn't have kids, I could've finished it in one sitting it was that great. It's such a great read!

Hurston the Folklorist/Anthropologist

Published by Hostaseizure , 5 years ago
I really like the "speakerly" prose for which Hurston is well known + the blend of genres in this book, offering the accounts of Kossola's trajectory into and out of slavery as supplemented by research by other scholars. The parables included after the main chapters are priceless.

Barracoon in The Essential Zora Neale Hurston

Here we review five of her essential titles.
