| Description: |
|
This book has been hailed by some as the finest black novel of its time and one of the finest of all time. What the reader will love immediately about this novel besides its high poetry and its femal hero is it investment in black folk traditions. Here, finally, was a womon on a quest for her own identity and, unlike so many other questing figures in black literature, her journed would take her, not away from, but deeper and deeper into blackness, the descent into the Everglades with its rich black soil, wild cane, and communal life. Most compelling is the figure of Janie Crawford - powerful, articulate, self-reliant and radically different from any woman character they had ever before encountered in literature. |
