âWarm, witty, imaginative.... This is a rich and winning book.ââThe New Yorker
Dust Tracks on a Road is the bold, poignant, and funny autobiography of novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, one of American literatureâs most compelling and influential authors. Hurstonâs powerful novels of the Southâincluding Jonahâs Gourd Vine and, most famously, Their Eyes Were Watching Godâcontinue to enthrall readers with their lyrical grace, sharp detail, and captivating emotionality. First published in 1942, Dust Tracks on a Road is Hurstonâs personal story, told in her own words. The Perennial Modern Classics Deluxe edition includes an all-new forward by Maya Angelou, an extended biography by Valerie Boyd, and a special section featuring the contemporary reviews that greeted the bookâs original publication.
