In my American Literature class, we had to read "The Gilded Six-Bits" and I loved it. It was a wonderful story about adultery and forgiveness. So I just had to read more of her short stories. This is the first book I've read by Zora. Some of the "stories" are just excerpts from her novels which I don't think count as a story. However after reading the excerpts of "Moses: Man of the Mountain" it is definitely on top of my reading list. I liked how a few of the stories had biblical themes. There's also interesting themes of hoodoo which I see is prevalent in some of her work. In other words, this is just a beginning for me of Hurston.
