[b]Tuesday, March 12, 7 pm, Small Meeting Room, Evanston Public Library, Evanston IL[/b]
A key figure in the Harlem Renaissance, Hurston, dashing and creative, struggled against poverty, sexism, and racism with grace and wisdom. In [url="http://evanston.bibliocommons.com/item/show/686599035_wrapped_in_rainbows"][i][b]Wrapped In Rainbows[/b][/i][/url], biographer Valerie Boyd adeptly and passionately analyzes Hurston's revolutionary books, intense spirituality, and myriad adventures. Hurston emerges in all her splendor--not only smarter, tougher, and more dazzlingly alive than most people but also free, gloriously and resoundingly free.
