A review by casparb
Tell My Horse: Voodoo and Life in Haiti and Jamaica by Zora Neale Hurston

firstly anthropological, don't wander in imagining a novel. Zora's talking about voodoo in Haiti & Jamaica & o my it is WILD what she was permitted to see, firsthand accounts in Tell My Horse of rituals you would imagine? are private? detail on zombies. & she's coming from such a calm & available place, partly I think because of her anthropological background in college and so forth. but delicious. a quiet entry in some ways , in others, so much.

also go watch this three minute film with her exquisite ! voice!:
