"Hmm. This was so readable -- Zora Neale Hurston's prose is amazing -- but made me make faces. Maya Angelou's foreword has the same ambivalent feeling; I didn't understand why until I read the book. Hurston was a slippery fish, but a great talent. I keep remembering lines from the book -- bits of description, metaphors -- and smiling because they are so vivid and funny and unexpected.
I read the revised edition, with chapters that were cut out when it was first published because they were too controversial. I quite liked the one on politics and foreign relations -- Hurston is scathing on colonialism."
"Maybe this might have meant something if I'd ever read anything written by Hurston, but ... as i haven't ... a long-winded, boring, pointless book if you ask me. waste of brain space"
"It doesn't feel like I'm reading this autobiography of an acclaimed author, but rather like I'm sitting down with a funny, warm, smart friend and listening to her tell a fabulous story. Her wonderful sense of humor and ebullient spirit shine through, and it's fascinating to get more information about her hometown, Eatonville, the all-black Florida town that is also the setting of much of her wonderful novel Their Eyes Were Watching God."
