Obscure. Communal. Black.
The power in this book comes from the sheer ability to make it feel like I'm in a room of old school black folks. The kind that helped get us to where we are today by just BEING. It's different. Its community. It's funny. Strange. It's a lot of things. I didn't love the stories but I loved the storytelling, and would recommend it for anyone looking to connect to black history on a communal, couch like approach. I appreciate Hurston for capturing this. I don't know how much was made up, but it was damn sho entertaining.
