Zora Neale Hurston's Final Novel Resurfaces After Near Destruction

Credited from: NPR

  • Zora Neale Hurston's final novel, The Life of Herod The Great, remained unseen until now, primarily known to a select group of scholars.
  • Hurston dedicated years to this work before her passing in 1960, aiming to redefine the historical figure of Herod.
  • The unfinished manuscript was almost lost in a fire that destroyed many of her belongings, but a neighbor saved it using a hose.
  • Deborah G. Plant, an expert on Hurston, edited the recovered work, which was released on Hurston's 134th birthday.
  • Plant emphasized Hurston's view of Herod as a complex character, challenging the traditional perception of him as merely a tyrant.
