Zora Neale Hurston (Their Eyes Were Watching God) and Langston
Hughes ("The Negro Speaks of Rivers", "Let America Be America
Again") were collaborators, literary gadflies and close companions.
They travelled together in Hurston's dilapidated car through the
rural southern US collecting folklore, worked on the play Mule Bone
and wrote scores of loving letters to each other. They even had the
same patron: Charlotte Osgood Mason, a wealthy white woman who
insisted on being called "Godmother". Paying them lavishly while
trying to control their work, Mason may have been the spark for
their bitter falling-out. Yuval Taylor answers questions about
their split while illuminating Hurston's and Hughes's lives, work,
competitiveness and ambition.
