Here is Zora Neale Hurston's candid, funny, bold, and poignant autobiography, an imaginative and exhuberant account of her rise from childhood povery in the rual South to a prominent place among the leading artists and intellectuals of the Harlem Renaissance.

As compelling as her renowned fiction, Hurston's very personal literary self-portrait offers a revealing, often audacious glimpse into the life--and public and private--of an extraoridinary artist, anthropologist, chronicler, and champion of the black experience in America.
