Zora and the travelogue
I really expected to like this more than I did. Hurston is a great writer and I have at least a passing interest in voodoo, but much of this fell flat or simply too academic for my taste. I found myself much more interested in the historical aspects of Haiti than I did the somewhat bland takes on the voodoo rituals. It is still really good writing, but her fiction is much better.
