"Their Eyes Were Watching God"

About this event

Their Eyes Were Watching GodWe will be discussing Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.

It was written 1937, and praised by white book reviewers for being a “rich and racy love story, if somewhat awkward.” Black critics faulted Hurston for not writing it in the protest tradition. The most influential black writer of the time, Richard Wright wrote that Hurston’s book did for literature what the minstrel shows did for theater, it made white folks laugh at black folks.

This background of how this book has become a classic, and the journey it has taken is almost as fascinating as the novel itself. Please join us to discuss this fascinating book. Patrice Varga will lead the discussion.

If you purchase the book at Banter, you will receive a 15% discount at the cashier when you mention GNV.
