Dust Tracks on a Road

An Autobiography

De: Zora Neale Hurston

Narrado por: Bahni Turpin

"Warm, witty, imaginative... This is a rich and winning book." (The New Yorker)

Dust Tracks on a Road is the bold, poignant, and funny autobiography of novelist, folklorist, and anthropologist Zora Neale Hurston, one of American literature's most compelling and influential authors. Hurston's powerful novels of the South - including Jonah's Gourd Vine and, most famously, Their Eyes Were Watching God - continue to enthrall readers with their lyrical grace, sharp detail, and captivating emotionality. First published in 1942, Dust Tracks on a Road is Hurston's personal story, told in her own words. The Perennial Modern Classics Deluxe edition includes an all-new foreword by Maya Angelou, an extended biography by Valerie Boyd, and a special section featuring the contemporary reviews that greeted the book's original publication.

Engaging and Thought Provoking

Amazing narrator that brings everything to life. Along the way learned many things. Now have deep respect and gratitude for what early pioneers went through. we

Definitely recommend this one.

interesting

This book helped me with a better understanding of black culture. I was particularly interested in the difference between spirituals performed as they really are and how composers have changed the idiom.

great narrator

always wanted to read her books. this one is her biography. she hung out with some literary wits

Very nice!

Loved her story. She was way before her time in words, spirit, life and death.

About Time!

I didn’t know who she was, just kept hearing the name. So I listened. It was a wonderful story, beautifully narrated. I thought it must have been Zora herself and double checked.

It was good to hear of a past where a woman of color emerged triumphant in her education, and her life’s work. The book was written by the author and she spoke her truth. I am blessed to know her now!

A must read any all

I usually don’t leave a review because most of the books I read and truly enjoy with the exception of a few. However, I had to do and Audible of Dust Tracks on a Road narrated by Bahni Turpin who did an absolute wonderful job. I can’t recommend this book/Audible enough. Thank you Ms Turpin for bringing Ms. Hurston’s one of my favorite authors voice to life. 👏🏾👏🏾🕊

A Truly Remarkable Woman

We would be so much poorer had Hurston not told her story.
Turpin's narration makes Hurston's incredible language so contemporary. This is a part of our history and heritage that was not part of my education. Thank you, thank you.

outstanding book of history

I really enjoyed this book. Obviously a very talented writer and historian. Highly recommended! Great!

Exceptional author. Exceptional narrator.

This production deserves 10 stars. Zora Neale Hurston was an outstanding writer and the narration does her work justice. Audible should seek out more of Hurston's works and produce them with this narrator.

w Wonderful and Thrilling!!!!

Excellent,and well narrated.Ms.Turpin brings the book to life in a way that takes there !!!!!!
