Zora Neale Hurst , Toni Morrison, and Walter dean Myers are my three favorites.
It's Zora Neale Hurston, dear. Their Eyes Were Watching God is a beautiful novel which I, you know, actually read. Better study up on your "favorites", hon.
I'm just your friendly neighborhood gal who knows the stuff about Dr. Dre and Zora Neale Hurston that you put on like you know. And you thought I was gonna say "kindergarten teacher" you silly goose, you. -

I don’t “put on” a damn thing but if you came here for a fight I’m here for it.
And you’re not a friendly neighborhood anything, you’re an old hag.

What true admirer of Hurston would forget to mention her equally-groundbreaking work as a folklorist and cultural anthropologist, or that she died impoverished and relatively unknown, or that it was the feminist critics of the 70s that brought her work back into the spotlight?

I'm a literature major.
I had to give a lecture on "The Gilded Six Bits" during the Hurston section of 20th Century American Literature.

What can be said of Maya Angelou? Something incredibly vague which requires no knowledge whatsoever of the things she's written.
