"Belongs in the category ... of enduring American literature." -- Saturday Review Fair and long-legged, independent and articulate, Janie Crawford sets out to be her own person -- no mean feat for a black woman in the 30s. Janie's quest for identity takes her through three marriages and into a journey back to her roots.

"'Their Eyes Were Watching God' brought a heartbeat and breath to all Hurston's years of research. Raising a folk culture to the heights of art, it fulfilled the Harlem Renaissance dream....The paramount ironies, however, are two: the heroine is not quite black, and becomes even less black as the story goes on; and the author offers perhaps the most serious Lawrentian vision ever penned by a woman of sexual love as the fundamental spring and power of life itself."

Claudia Roth Pierpont, New Yorker, 02/17/1997

"THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD belongs in the same category--with that of William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Ernest Hemingway--of enduring American literature."

Doris Grumbach, Saturday Review
