"[Hurston's] present obscurity reflects her staunchly independent political stances far more than it does an absence of craft or a lack of vision....[The author describes her] as 'flamboyant yet vulnerable, self-centered yet kind, a Republican conservative and an early black nationalist.' ...Never does Hemenway oversimplify the relation between Miss Hurton's art and her life; never does he reduce the complexity of her postwar politics....Perhaps Hemenway's excellent biography will allow Miss Hurston to be read again, for all the right reasons."Hemenway, Robert E. is the author of 'Zora Neale Hurston A Literary Biography', published 1980 under ISBN 9780252008078 and ISBN 0252008073.
