"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,
