A celebrated novelist, pioneering folklorist, and fiercely independent spirit whose genius was nearly forgotten. Zora Neale Hurston's life (1891-1960) is one of American literature's great paradoxes. From the vibrant, self-governed Black sanctuary of Eatonville, Florida, she rose to become a star of the Harlem Renaissance and the author of the masterpiece, Their Eyes Were Watching God. This definitive biography traces her full, complex journey: her groundbreaking anthropological fieldwork under Franz Boas, her bold political independence, and the high cost of her artistic vision. Her refusal to compromise led to years of professional isolation, crippling poverty, and an eventual burial in an unmarked grave. This book restores the narrative of Hurston's genius, detailing the decades of silence that followed her death and the spectacular resurrection that ultimately secured her place as an essential, vibrant voice in the American literary canon.
