Download or read book Zora Neale Hurston written by Carla Kaplan, Ph.D. and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 906 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “ I mean to live and die by my own mind,” Zora Neale Hurston told the writer Countee Cullen. Arriving in Harlem in 1925 with little more than a dollar to her name, Hurston rose to become one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance, only to die in obscurity. Not until the 1970s was she rediscovered by Alice Walker and other admirers. Although Hurston has entered the pantheon as one of the most influential American writers of the 20th century, the true nature of her personality has proven elusive. Now, a brilliant, complicated and utterly arresting woman emerges from this landmark book. Carla Kaplan, a noted Hurston scholar, has found hundreds of revealing, previously unpublished letters for this definitive collection; she also provides extensive and illuminating commentary on Hurston’s life and work, as well as an annotated glossary of the organizations and personalities that were important to it. From her enrollment at Baltimore’s Morgan Academy in 1917, to correspondence with Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings, Langston Hughes, Dorothy West and Alain Locke, to a final query letter to her publishers in 1959, Hurston’s spirited correspondence offers an invaluable portrait of a remarkable, irrepressible talent.

Download or read book The Life and Selected Letters of Lyle Saxon written by Chance Harvey and published by Pelican Publishing. This book was released on 2003-09-30 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[Harvey's] use of Saxon's letters . . . provide a unique and objective way of analyzing this fascinating individual while allowing Saxon to speak for himself." -Louisiana Libraries "Pays him the respect he deserves and uncovers the essential loneliness of the most convivial of men." -New Orleans Times-Picayune "Saxon's life makes an interesting story and Harvey's prose brings it fully to life." -Brookhaven Daily Leader Here is the first full biography of the legendary writer known as Mr. Louisiana and Mr. New Orleans. Lyle Saxon's life was colorful, busy, and full of contrasts. He presented himself as the perfect Southern gentleman, but he grew up fatherless in modest circumstances. As host of a French Quarter salon, Saxon dispensed drinks, anecdotes, loans, and advice to many friends, including William Faulkner, Oliver La Farge, and Sherwood Anderson, yet he was often lonely and retreated to his solitary cabin at Melrose Plantation. While Saxon was ambivalent toward his work with the WPA Writers' Project, begrudging the time it took from his own writing, the Louisiana division was, under his direction, the most productive in the United States. Though Saxon's history books bought him fame and a place in New York literary circles, he was deeply insecure about his talent and mourned his inability to write novels. A Southern-literature scholar and a longtime fan of Lyle Saxon, Professor Harvey has researched the facts behind Saxon myths and presents the reality behind his legend. This volume also contains excerpts from Saxon's correspondence with family and friends, including letters from Grace King, William Spratling, and Sherwood Anderson. Lyle Saxon wrote history books, Father Mississippi, Old Louisiana, Fabulous New Orleans, and Lafitte the Pirate; a novel, Children of Strangers; and a memoir, The Friends of Joe Gilmore. He was a coauthor of the folklore collection Gumbo Ya-Ya. All are available from Pelican.
