Produktbeschreibungen
From Booklist
TITLR Southern Storyteller.YAnnuzzi, Della A. Gr. 7^-12. There are many tellers of tales, but few transcend the boundaries of gender and ethnicity. Two African American women who wield pens like sabers are remembered in these biographies that sing the praises of their lives and works.
From Kirkus Reviews
Yannuzzi (Wilma Mankiller, 1994, not reviewed), awkwardly rehashing information better handled by one of her sources--Mary Lyons's Sorrow's Kitchen (1993)--seldom peeks below the surface of Hurston's checkered literary career and notably unstable private life. A luminary of the Harlem Renaissance, Hurston later became an enthusiastic collector of African-American tales, lore, and cultural practices--but, unable to hold on to money, friends, husbands, or benefactors, died in poverty and remained almost forgotten until the mid-1970s. Through a selection of telling incidents and brief quoted comments, Hurston's intelligence and strong personality come across, but her written work is passed over virtually unassessed in a dry recitation of titles and content summaries that reads like CIP notes. Yannuzzi does not explain how an author supposedly endowed with ``a big talent and a strong will to succeed'' met with such mixed reviews and produced so many rejected manuscripts; readers will come away with only vague ideas of the quality of Hurston's thought or writing. This may be more detailed than Patricia McKissack's shorter Zora Neale Hurston, Writer and Storyteller (1992), but it offers no further insight.

Their Eyes Were Watching Hurston
25. November 2011
Format:Bibliothekseinband
Zora Neal Hurston: Southern Storyteller is an illustrated informational book in Enslow Publisher's African-American Biographies series. It explores the career and life of this anthropologist and influential writer, spanning her entire life beginning with her childhood in Florida and concluding with her emergence as an author of significance. The book's illustrations are largely comprised of photographs of Hurston that allow the reader to build an increasingly complex image of this powerful African-American writer. This text pairs nicely with a study of Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God by providing biographical information about the author and a context for the novel.
