shes wrong abt florida being better than california but i forgive her

"in the next world, we'll meet at a barbecue" beautiful

good memoir leaves you wistful for people you never met. love her descriptions of the froends and great loves of her life

The more I read this book, the more I am struck by Zora's ability to just get shit done.

I adore all of the songs she details in the Florida chapter! She's such a stunning ethnographer

when she talked about how warm and loving Boas was, I teared up icl. Papa Franz 🩷

the similarities with Teacake....it is so fascinating to see where Hurston draws from her personal experiences

I adore Hurston's writing, and it's so lovely to hear her speak of her own history. Currently on the first chapter, and the similarities between her parents and the marriage with Joe in Their Eyes Were Watching God are striking.
