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.

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
