SUMMARY:LitMinds Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the LitMinds Book Club at Gemini Ink. We’re reading Their Eyes Were Watching God: A Novel by Zora Neale Hurston.\nRegister\n“A deeply soulful novel that comprehends love and cruelty\, and separates the big people from the small of heart\, without ever losing sympathy for those unfortunates who don’t know how to live properly.”—Zadie Smith \nOne of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century\, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has\, since its 1978 reissue\, become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature. \n\nFair and long-legged\, independent and articulate\, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person—no mean feat for a black woman in the ’30s. Janie’s quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots. \n\n\nAbout the Author\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZora Neale Hurston was a celebrated author\, anthropologist\, and central figure of the Harlem Renaissance\, known for novels like Their Eyes Were Watching God that focused on Black American life and folklore. Educated at Howard University and Barnard College\, she was a groundbreaking ethnographer who studied Black culture in the rural South and Caribbean\, incorporating her research into her fiction. Despite achieving literary fame\, she died in poverty\, and her work was largely forgotten until its revival in the 1970s\, led by authors like Alice Walker. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVisit our LitMinds page to see what we’re reading next!
