About this listen

"Warm, witty, imaginative... This is a rich and winning book." (The New Yorker)

Dust Tracks on a Road is the bold, poignant, and funny autobiography of novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, one of American literature's most compelling and influential authors. Hurston's powerful novels of the South - including Jonah's Gourd Vine and, most famously, Their Eyes Were Watching God - continue to enthrall readers with their lyrical grace, sharp detail, and captivating emotionality. First published in 1942, Dust Tracks on a Road is Hurston's personal story, told in her own words. The Perennial Modern Classics Deluxe edition includes an all-new foreword by Maya Angelou, an extended biography by Valerie Boyd, and a special section featuring the contemporary reviews that greeted the book's original publication.

An amazing life indeed!

Banhi's performance was great, she brought the book to life and provided an authentic voice to tell Zora's incredible life story. Zora is such an inspiration and it was amazing to hear all the journeys she had. She truly committed her life to immortalizing African American traditions, stories, and folklore. Her storytelling is out of this world and she does such a service to the English language, capturing spoken word in a beautiful way and expressing ineffable concepts through rich metaphors and similies. Just amazing!
