One of the greatest writers of our time. –Toni Morrison
Through Hurston, the soul of the black South gained one of its most articulate interpreters. –New York Times Book Review
This well-made collection of her work . . . should give momentum to the rediscovery of Hurston as 'the intellectual and spiritual foremother of a generation of black women writers.' –Washington Post Book Review
I Love Myself . . . is a veritable trove of one of the most engaging and vital writers of the 21st century. Hurston's work is broad in scope while also embodying detail. Her creativity, drive to follow her curiosity, and tenacity in telling the truth can be seen in all of her work; this is a welcome new edition of one of the best collections of an author's writing out there." –LitHub
This book may be one of the best 'starters' for reading Hurston because it includes excerpts of her novels, short stories, essays, reportage, and folktales." –Electric Literature
