The only collaboration between the two brightest lights of the
Harlem Renaissance--Zora Neale Hurston and Langston Hughes
In 1930, two giants of African American literature joined forces
to create a lively, insightful, often wildly farcical look inside a
rural Southern black community--the three-act play "Mule Bone." In
this hilarious story, Jim and Dave are a struggling song-and-dance
team, and when a woman comes between them, chaos ensues in their
tiny Florida hometown. This extraordinary theatrical work broke new
ground while triggering a bitter controversy between the
collaborators that kept it out of the public eye for sixty
years.
This edition of the rarely seen stage classic features
Hurston's original short story, "The Bone of Contention," as well
as the complete recounting of the acrimonious literary dispute that
prevented Mule Bone from being produced or published until decades
after the authors' deaths.
