Jump at the Sun: ZORA NEALE HURSTON'S COSMIC COMEDY

3.7/5 ( ratings)

      "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
