Join us Friday, August 2nd at 6:00 p.m. at Orca Books Co-op to discuss I Love Myself When I Am Laughing... And Then Again When I Am Looking Mean and Impressive by Zora Neale Hurston. Copies are available in store now.
About the collection:
During her lifetime, Zora Neale Hurston was praised for her writing but condemned for her independence and audacity. Her work fell into obscurity until the 1970s, when Alice Walker rediscovered Hurston's unmarked grave and anthologized her writing in this groundbreaking collection for the Feminist Press.
I Love Myself When I Am Laughing... And Then Again When I Am Looking Mean and Impressive established Hurston as an intellectual leader for future generations of black writers. A testament to the power and breadth of Hurston's oeuvre, this edition--newly reissued for the Feminist Press's fiftieth anniversary--features a new preface by Walker.
