    Description of Uncertain Rituals by S. Pearl Sharp

    An audio collection of five short stories. Written and read by S. Pearl Sharp. Directed by Iona Morris.

    The collection of stories is inspired by a line from Zora Neale Hurston. For dramatic impact I cheated a little, editing the lines to Death…bowed…and left us to act out our ceremonies over unimportant things. Read the actual passage in her insightful autobiography Dust Tracks On A Road (1942).
