description:       "Lowe has written what may well be the Hurston book for the        years to come." -- Werner Sollors, Harvard University      "Lowe's study . . . smartly begins with the assumption that one        reason for the stunning popularity of Hurston's work is the verve with        which it addresses serious subjects in a comic style." -- Cheryl        A. Wall, editor of Changing Our Own Essays on Criticism, Theory,        and Writing by Black Women      "Appreciative of Hurston's 'bodacious' humor, Lowe argues that she        is 'a profoundly serious, experimental, subversive, and therefore unsettling        artist.' . . . Strongly recommended." -- Choice      "A trailblazing effort, a work that will enrich our understanding        of Hurston's fiction." -- William R. Nash, The Southern Literary        Journal      "The most important booklength contribution to Hurston scholarship        since Robert Hemenway published his biography in 1978." -- Will Brantley,        Contemporary Literature
