SUMMARY:Zora Neale Hurston | Stories from the Harlem Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Co-presented by MoAD & Litquake \nIn 1925\, Barnard student Zora Neale Hurston—the sole black student at the college—was living in New York\, “desperately striving for a toe-hold on the world.” During this period\, she began writing short works that captured the zeitgeist of African American life\, transforming her into one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Nearly a century later\, this singular talent is recognized as one of the most influential and revered American artists of the modern period. Released just in time for Black History Month\, Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick (Amistad Press) unveils an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration\, gender and class\, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African American folk culture. Brought together for the first time in one volume\, they include eight of Hurston’s “lost” Harlem stories\, which were found in forgotten periodicals and archives. These stories challenge conceptions of Hurston as an author of rural fiction and include gems that flash with her biting\, satiric humor\, as well as more serious tales reflective of the cultural currents of Hurston’s world. All are timeless classics that enrich our understanding and appreciation of this exceptional writer’s voice and her contributions to America’s literary traditions. \nWith readings and discussion from UC Berkeley African American studies professor Chiyuma Elliott\, poet and CCA professor Tonya M. Foster\, and bestselling novelist Margaret Wilkerson Sexton. Moderated by writer and radio journalist Jeneé Darden. Audience discussion and book sales to follow.
