"Really. She's a fascinating person. I liked "I Love Myself When I am Laughing" more, but this collection has all of her short stories, including the ever-necessary "The Gilded Six-Bits," which I fervently believe is Hurston's finest work."
"Perfect for my transit journeys this next week. Her 'Their Eyes' still resonates from when I re-read it last fall, am delighted to have more to read of her.
---
Have read 5 or 6 so far, I really like them. Have been reading anthologies of short stories and so on for the last several months, and hers are definitely among my favorite. They don't throw me around too much, they match up information provided with information required well, they have a full, rich flavor that is very accessible, there is a great story arc to each one, full characters despite the short story format: all adds up to sublime delight.
Marking as read, but there is more there for next time..
