Hitting a Straight Lick with A Crooked Stick: Stories from the Harlem Renaissance by Zora Neale Hurston, 252 pages.Twenty-one stories from one of America's premier writers. We chose three novels by Hurston, Their Eyes Were Watching God, Moses, Man of the Mountain, and Jonah's Gourd Vine back in 2016, and in that time I had forgotten what a joy it is to read her fiction. The twenty-one stories in this collection feel fresh and original, despite the decades that have gone by since they were written. Eight of the stories included in the collection have never before been published. Well worth the read, but also a great audiobook with narration by Aunjanue Ellis.
