"Lowe has written what may well be the Hurston book for the         years to come." -- Werner Sollors, Harvard University       "Lowe's study . . . smartly begins with the assumption that one         reason for the stunning popularity of Hurston's work is the verve with         which it addresses serious subjects in a comic style." -- Cheryl         A. Wall, editor of Changing Our Own Words: Essays on Criticism, Theory,         and Writing by Black Women       "Appreciative of Hurston's 'bodacious' humor, Lowe argues that she         is 'a profoundly serious, experimental, subversive, and therefore unsettling         artist.' . . . Strongly recommended." -- Choice       "A trailblazing effort, a work that will enrich our understanding         of Hurston's fiction." -- William R. Nash, The Southern Literary         Journal       "The most important booklength contribution to Hurston scholarship         since Robert Hemenway published his biography in 1978." -- Will Brantley,         Contemporary Literature
