Download or read book Spunk A Short Story written by Zora Neale Hurston and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston explores a battle between physical and moral strength in this pocket-sized short story, ‘Spunk’. Set in an all-Black community in rural America, this short story poses the question of whether moral strength is more powerful than physical strength. Spunk Banks is described as a ‘giant’. He is unafraid of anything and when he openly flaunts his affair with Lena Kanty, Joe Kanty’s wife, the other men in the neighbourhood are afraid to confront him. Word of the affair gets back to Joe, who decides to threaten Spunk with a razor. Undeterred, Spunk shoots Joe dead and moves in with his widow. But when a bobcat begins to circle their house, Spunk becomes convinced that Joe has returned from the dead to avenge him. Zora Neale Hurston’s short story was published in the Opportunity, A Journal of Negro Life in 1925, and later won second place in the journal’s fiction writing contest. ‘Spunk’ was also selected for publication in The New Negro, helping to secure Hurston’s successful career as a writer. Now in a brand new pocket-sized edition featuring an introductory essay on the Harlem Renaissance, ‘Spunk’ would make the perfect read for fans of short stories and Hurston’s work.

Download or read book Spunk Sweat Two Short Stories written by Zora Neale Hurston and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2022-09-26 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the prolific Harlem Renaissance writer Zora Neale Hurston, ‘Spunk’ and ‘Sweat’ are thought-provoking short stories set in the heart of African-American communities following the civil war. ‘Spunk’, first published in 1925, is set in an all-Black community in rural America and poses the question of whether moral strength is more powerful than physical strength. Spunk Banks is described as a ‘giant’. He is unafraid of anything or anyone, but when he openly flaunts his affair with Lena Kanty, Joe Kanty’s wife, could it be his superstition rather than a physical weakness that is his downfall? ‘Sweat’, first published in 1926, is an early feminist story, presenting the contrasting lives of a married couple: the sweat and toil of Delia and the leisure and privilege of her abusive husband, Sykes. When it becomes apparent that both want their relationship to end, Sykes appears to be willing to go to horrific measures to ensure Delia is out of his life for good. Zora Neale Hurston explores themes of fortitude, integrity, and early intersectional feminism. Portraying contemporary issues in the everyday lives of Black people, Hurston was an important literary figure in the Harlem Renaissance. This collection has been published together with an introductory essay on the Harlem Renaissance and would make a wonderful addition to the bookshelves of Zora Neale Hurston fans.
