She transformed her map into the rhythms and rhymes of words. She observed the life around her; the impressions of folks just hanging around the porch of the general store telling tales of conjure men and yellow mules. Her tongue became a brook babbling a fable of the struggle of true love. She interviews the sanctified preacher, Mother Catherine, and recognizes the dignity and strength of a widow facing Southern justice. When her life's journey takes her North, Dixie is translated into jive talk strutting down the streets of Harlem. The stories I selected span three decades and show Hurston's diversity in writing styles and subject matter. I created my illustrations from fragments of fabric, paper and faded photos.The layering of images, patterns and textures evoke the feeling of memory and old tales retold. So they become, like the stories, 'bookmarks in the pages of life.'"(From the Artist's Afterward). HBS 69174. $2,500. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 69174
