Zora Neale Hurston's Final Decade

Hardcover, Gainesville, FL: Univ. Press of Florida, 2011. First printing. New/ new.

1st/1st. New & unread. An intriguing investigation of the famous writer’s turbulent final years. In 1948, false accusations of child molestation all but erased the reputation and career Zora Neale Hurston had worked for decades to build. Sensationalized in the profit-seeking press and relentlessly pursued by a prosecution more interested in a personal crusade than justice, the morals charge brought against her nearly drove her to suicide.But she lived on. She lived on past her accuser’s admission that he had fabricated his whole story. She lived on for another twelve years, during which time she participated in some of the most remarkable events, movements, and projects of the day. (208 pages).
