Reader reviews for Jump at the Sun: Zora Neale Hurston's Cosmic Comedy

From the publisher

"Lowe has written what may well be the Hurston book for the
years to come." -- Werner Sollors, Harvard University
"Lowe's study . . . smartly begins with the assumption that one
reason for the stunning popularity of Hurston's work is the verve with
which it addresses serious subjects in a comic style." -- Cheryl
A. Wall, editor of Changing Our Own Words: Essays on Criticism, Theory,
and Writing by Black Women
"Appreciative of Hurston's 'bodacious' humor, Lowe argues that she
is 'a profoundly serious, experimental, subversive, and therefore unsettling
artist.' . . . Strongly recommended." -- Choice
"A trailblazing effort, a work that will enrich our understanding
of Hurston's fiction." -- William R. Nash, The Southern Literary
Journal
"The most important booklength contribution to Hurston scholarship
since Robert Hemenway published his biography in 1978." -- Will Brantley,
Contemporary Literature

First line

For many years, Hurston wandered from job to job, city to city, first as a lady's maid with a Gilbert and Sullivan company, and then on her own.

From the rear cover

'Impressive....Traces the multi-faceted influences of Hurston's concept of comedy from its origins, especially in African-American humor, in other cultural sources, and in her particular world view.'--Kathryn Seidel, Mississippi Quarterly
