Downtown Book Club

Join fellow CFE Members on Tuesday, November 1, for dinner and a social discussion on the book, Their Eyes Were Watching God, by Zora Neal Hurston. Attendees will gather at Chicago Q, an upscale, award-winning, southern barbecue restaurant.

About the book:

One of the most important and enduring books of the twentieth century, Their Eyes Were Watching God brings to life a Southern love story with the wit and pathos found only in the writing of Zora Neale Hurston. Out of print for almost thirty years—due largely to initial audiences’ rejection of its strong black female protagonist—Hurston’s classic has since its 1978 reissue become perhaps the most widely read and highly acclaimed novel in the canon of African-American literature.
