Description:
Wrapped in Rainbows is the landmark modern biography of Zora Neale Hurston, restoring the full scope of her intellectual, artistic, and cultural legacy. Valerie Boyd draws on extensive archival research to trace Hurston’s life from Eatonville to the Harlem Renaissance, her anthropological fieldwork, literary achievements, and the long eclipse of her reputation. Richly contextualized and beautifully written, this biography remains essential reading for understanding one of America’s most original writers.
