ZORA!
"The oaths of secrecy she [Zora Neale Hurston] swore, and the terrifying physical and emotional ordeals she endured…left their mark on her, and there were certain parts of her material which she never dared to reveal, even in scientific publications.” (Alan Lomax)
ZORA!
She traveled the 1930s South alone with a loaded .44 and an unmatched desire to see and to know. She was at home in the supper clubs of New York City, backroad juke joints, under ropes of Spanish moss, and dancing around the Vodoun peristyle. Her experiences brought us Their Eyes Were Watching God, Mules and Men, Tell My Horse, and Jonah’s Gourd Vine. But between the lines she wrote lie the words unwritten, truths too fantastic to divulge….until now.
"Leaves Floating in a Dream’s Wake". "Beyond the Black Arcade". "Ekwensu’s Lullaby". "King Yeller". "Gods of the Grim Nation". "The Shadow in the Chapel of Ease". "Black Woman, White City". "The Deathless Snake". Eight weird and fantastic stories spanning the breadth of her amazing life. Eight times when she faced the nameless alien denizens of the outer darkness and didn’t blink.
ZORA!
Celebrated writer, groundbreaking anthropologist, Hoodoo initiate, footloose queen of the Harlem Renaissance, Mythos detective.
