Among the most essential and enduring books of the twentieth century, Their Eyes Were Enjoying God brings to life a Southern romance with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years– due mainly to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female lead character– Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become possibly the most commonly read and highly acclaimed book in the canon of African-American literature.
