From 'one of the greatest writers of our time' (Toni Morrison) -
the author of Their Eyes Were Watching God and Barracoon - a
collection of remarkable short stories from the Harlem Renaissance
With a foreword by Tayari Jones, author of An American Marriage
'Genius' Alice Walker 'Rigorous, convincing, dazzling' Zadie Smith
on Their Eyes Were Watching God In 1925, college student Zora Neale
Hurston - the sole black student at Barnard College, New York - was
living in the city, '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 and transformed her
into one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Nearly a
century later, this singular talent is recognised as one of the
most influential and revered American artists of the modern period.
Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick is 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 humour, 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.
