A review by queerandweird
The Complete Stories by Zora Neale Hurston, Sieglinde Lemke, Henry Louis Gates Jr.

3.0

Enjoyed the language throughout the stories I completed. There were similar or recurring character tropes in the works, the most common being the young, intelligent, ambitious person held back tragically in life because of race or class. Hurston was writing the history that was not making it into textbooks; her writing is important in understanding the plight of impoverished blacks in the pre-civil rights era south.
My favorite story was with the brook and stream watching lovers, incredible use of movement in poetic prose.
