Hurston and Wright are two of my favorite authors! I also love Hurston's short stories, including "Spunk" -- a really trippy look at masculinity. Black Boy is a gem to teach to high school students. 2 years ago, I was applying to teaching jobs in the UK and was so pleased when I saw the updates to many of the A Level courses in terms of diversity (as you mention). Thanks for the interesting contextualization of this literature.

Thank you, Kathleen! I haven't read 'Spunk' so shall look out for it, thanks for the recommendation : )
