This is a rich and winning book."--<em>The New Yorker</em><br/><br/><em>Dust Tracks on a Road </em>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 <em>Jonah's Gourd Vine </em>and, most famously, <em>Their Eyes Were Watching God</em>--continue to enthrall readers with their lyrical grace, sharp detail, and captivating emotionality. First published in 1942, <em>Dust Tracks on a Road </em>is Hurston's personal story, told in her own words.
