On March 5, 1975, Alice Walker published "In Search of Zora Neale Hurston" in an issue of Ms. Magazine, reviving interest in the American folklorist and writer Zora Neale Hurston. With her extensive knowledge of Black folklore, culture, and hoodoo, Zora Neale Hurston crafted literature that offered unprecedented anecdotes of the Black experience in the African Diaspora. Hurston has written dozens of works—novels, short stories, and essays— and lives on as one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. With this guide, you’ll know exactly where to start with her work.
