Zora Neale Hurston

This massive collection of letters--over 500 in all--illuminates the life of Zora Neale Hurston and her circle. Written to, among others, Langston Hughes, Carl Van Vechten, Fannie Hurst, and Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Hurston`s letters are sharply intelligent, fiercely individual, and heartbreakingly explicit as they chronicle her rise and fall as a major figure of the Harlem Renaissance.
