Zora Neale Hurston, American Author

Zora Neale Hurston (January 7, 1891 - January 28, 1960) was an American folklorist, anthropologist, and author. When Hurston arrived in NYC in 1925, the Harlem Renaissance was at its peak, and she soon became one of the writers at its center. By the mid-1930s, she had published several short stories and the critically acclaimed Mules and Men (1935), a groundbreaking work of "literary anthropology" documenting African-American folklore from timber camps in North Florida. Her last published novel, Seraph on the Suwanee, notable principally for its focus on white characters, was published in 1948. Her work slid into obscurity for decades, for a number of cultural and political reasons. Many readers objected to the representation of African-American dialect in Hurston's novels, given the racially charged history of dialect fiction in American literature. She died of hypertensive heart disease in 1960, at the age of 69, and was buried in an unmarked grave. She was inducted as a member of the inaugural class of the New York Writers Hall of Fame in 2010. Photographed by Carl Van Vechten, April 3, 1938.
