Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Every Tongue Got to Confess is an extensive volume of African American folklore that Zora Neale Hurston collected on her travels through the Gulf States in the late 1920s.
The bittersweet and often hilarious tales -- which range from longer narratives about God, the Devil, white folk, and mistaken identity to witty one-liners -- reveal attitudes about faith, love, family, slavery, race, and community. Together, this collection of nearly 500 folktales weaves a vibrant tapestry that celebrates African American life in the rural South and represents a major part of Zora Neale Hurston's literary legacy.
Review:
"A rich harvest of native storytelling."
Kirkus, 10/01/2001
Review:"[T]he retrograde idiom on which Hurston relied gives these stories a sharp immediacy and a fine supply of down-to-earth humor. And if not every passage in this collection validates her claim that 'there is no such thing as a Negro tale which lacks point,' most do. In stories that are variously jokey, angry, bawdy, wildly fanciful or Reader's Digest-style anecdotal, the speakers present a world in which anything is possible, and human nature is crystal clear."
Janet Maslin, New York Times Book Review, 12/03/2001
