Tell My Horse
Book description
“Strikingly dramatic, yet simple and unrestrained . . . an unusual and intensely interesting book richly packed with strange information.”

Why read it?
1 author picked Tell My Horse as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
I love anything by Zora Neale Hurston but this one I love because she mixed her training as an anthropologist and her talent for storytelling to create this book of tales of magic based on her travels through the Caribbean. I find Hurston’s unique approach to studying and sharing knowledge to be so clearly artful, and she has inspired researchers and writers to this day.
From Ravynn's list on Black American artist who studies abroad.
