Zora Neale Hurston’s vivid tales of African American life, sprituality and love have held readers spellbound over the years, but one of her most compelling works is her autobioraphy, Dust Tracks on a Road: An Autobiography. Detailing her life from her childhood in the self-governed Negro town of Eatonville, Fla., to her days as a groundbreaking female writer and anthropologist during the Harlem Renaissance, Dust Tracks on a Road has all the intellectual charm and honesty that one would expect from a writer of Hurston’s caliber. The book’s foreword is written by acclaimed poet and author Maya Angelou, and thankfully, this non-fiction gem has not lost any of its luster. –nicholas robinson
