I love the archival footage they used.<br /><br />Hurston is an interesting writer. I will agree that Their Eyes Were Watching God is a wonderful book, probably one of the best American novels of the century. But I don't think she had all that mush influence on the Harlem Rennaisance. I always understood she was on the sidelines of it. She did basically vanish from the scene afterwards.<br /><br />And to claim she's as important as Mark Twain as the authors do in the video is hyperbole. Tom and Huck are central figures in the American mythos. It's difficult to come up with anyone who's their equal. Maybe Superman.<br /><br />Enjoy the holiday season. I'm looking forward to it all myself.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-83992183737498444862010-11-28T09:08:35.559-05:002010-11-28T09:08:35.559-05:00Their Eyes Were Watching God was one of the first ...Their Eyes Were Watching God was one of the first books as a kid that made me really, really start to think. About social issues, how a person can write and convey an image so beautifully. I think I have a copy of the book here somewhere -- it wasn't one of the books that I was rushing to pick up and read since I was so caught up in other ones, but I guess I should change that, huh?Natalie~Coffee and a Book Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12369504951819517390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-59060296661267660122010-11-28T08:19:01.373-05:002010-11-28T08:19:01.373-05:00Oh, gosh!
