I Love Myself: When I Am Laughing...and Then Again When I Am Looking Mean and Impressive
I Love Myself: When I Am Laughing...and Then Again When I Am Looking Mean and Impressive | Zora Neale Hurston
6 posts | 5 read | 12 to read
The most prolific African-American woman author from 1920 to 1950, Hurston was praised for her writing and condemned for her independence, arrogance, and audaciousness. This unique anthology, with fourteen superb examples of her fiction, journalism, folklore, and autobiography, rightfully establishes her as the intellectual and spiritual leader of the next generation of black writers. The original commentary by Alice Walker and Mary Helen Washington, two African-American writers in the forefront of the Hurston revival, provide illuminating insights into Hurstonthe writer, and the personas well as into American social and cultural history."

I've already outed myself as a Halloween Party Pooper so costumes are obviously not my thing. But look! I wrote a book in elementary school that was about me so I don't even have to cheat for this challenge. The character from a book I would dress up is...myself!

Greatest book title ever for #RecommendsDay: I love myself when I am laughing ... and then again when I am looking mean and impressive. Zora Neale Hurston celebrates herself and her culture in this collection of essays and short stories.
