What does /lit/ think about Their Eyes Were Watching God? I thought it was quite moving and a major work in American naturalist literature.

It's amazing. One of a few good books I was assigned in high school. My Antonia and The Heart is a Lonely Hunter were two others.

I read it in school. The Ebonics were annoying but a good story and I'm from FL so good history. Just read another by her, Seraf on the Suwannee, that was a pretty story and no Ebonics. Prob won't pick up any more tho, but never say never hahaha!

It was trashy dime-store romance wearing the skin of literature. You know, the kind that'd have abs on the cover. Some of the prose was nice, though.

Why can't blacks write about something other than race? It's like they're mentally defective or something.
