In 1925, college student Zora Neale Hurston - the sole black student at Barnard College, New York - was living in the city, 'desperately striving for a toe-hold on the world.' During this period, she began writing short works that captured the zeitgeist of African American life and transformed her into one of the central figures of the Harlem Renaissance. Nearly a century later, this singular talent is recognised as one of the most influential and revered American artists of the modern period. 'Hitting a Straight Lick with a Crooked Stick' is an outstanding collection of stories about love and migration, gender and class, racism and sexism that proudly reflect African American folk culture.
