Praise for The Life of Herod the Great
'The Life of Herod The Great - like Hurston herself - is a masterpiece, a miracle, and a marvel. In other words, treasure for the whole world' TAYARI JONES, AUTHOR OF AN AMERICAN MARRIAGE
'Upon her grave "a genius of the south" is chiseled and it still undersells what her work has meant to twentieth century American literature' JARRED MCGINNIS, AUTHOR OF THE COWARD
'Full of adventure, glamour, and historical figures, including Herod's close friends Julius Caesar and Marc Antony, this is a fascinating addition to the Hurston canon' STARRED BOOKLIST REVIEW
'[Hurston] delivers an intriguing counterpoint to the biblical 'massacre of the innocents' story, framing Herod as a strong and complex protagonist, one who balances his political ambitions with his loyalty to his people. Hurston completists ought to snatch this up' PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
'Hurston's novel is a fresh historical perspective of King Herod the Great. It is full of adventure, vivid characters and humour. I pored over each page and I was struck by Hurston's presentation of Herod's diplomacy and profound philosophical reflections about power' DR LESLEY NELSON-ADDY, RUNNYMEDE TRUST
Praise for Zora Neale Hurston:
'Their Eyes Were Watching God is one of the very greatest American novels of the 20th century. It is so lyrical it should be sentimental; it is so passionate it should be overwrought, but it is instead a rigorous, convincing and dazzling piece of prose, as emotionally satisfying as it is impressive. There is no novel I love more' ZADIE SMITH
'To the last page that fills the soul with tears, Hurston's novel delivers. To me, it is also a welcome reminder that books are democratic, subversive and life-changing' THE TIMES
'Zora Neale Hurston was a knockout in her life, a wonderful writer and a fabulous person. Devilishly funny and academically solid: delicious mixture' MAYA ANGELOU
