Zora Neale Hurston
À propos de cet audio
Zora Neale Hurston is best remembered today for her work as a novelist, but she was also an accomplished dramatist, short story writer, and folklorist. That range of interests and styles is on full display in this collection.
In “Drenched in Light,” Hurston tells the tale of a plucky, life-affirming African American girl at odds with her irritable grandmother; “Spunk” follows the conflict between two men involved in a deadly love triangle; the prize-winning play “Color Struck” tracks the impact of colorism on a group of cakewalk competitors in the Jim Crow South; and “Sweat” portrays a woman in an abusive marriage who finds deliverance through a karmic twist of fate.
With their explorations of class, racism, family dysfunction, and female empowerment, these works beautifully represent both the energy of the Harlem Renaissance and the unique voice of one of its most influential contributors.
Revised edition: Previously published as Drenched in Light, Spunk, Color Struck, Sweat, this edition of Collected Early Works (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

“Zora Neale Hurston's range as an author is showcased by some supremely talented narrators whose voices radiate innocence, experience, and all the stops in between. Bahni Turpin's skills are at their best in ‘Drenched in Light’ as she repeatedly transitions between grandmother and granddaughter without missing a beat. ‘Spunk’ features Cary Hite's capable rendition of a tense love triangle. While the full-cast performance of ‘Color Struck’ is absorbing and well done, it is Kenya Brome's treatment of ‘Sweat’ that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats.”—AudioFile Magazine
