Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott Company, 1934. First edition of the author's first book. Octavo, bound in full morocco by the Harcourt Bindery, gilt titles to the spine, gilt ruled to the front and rear panels, raised bands, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. In near fine condition, name to the title page. With an introduction by Fanny Hurst. Rare and desirable. Praised by Carl Sandburg as "a bold and beautiful book, many a page priceless and unforgettable." Written in only three to four months in 1934, Jonah's Gourd Vine is the first novel published by acclaimed anthropologist, writer, and Harlem Renaissance personality Zora Neale Hurston. The book, based loosely on her parents' lives, explores the life and consciousness of John Pearson and his relationship with his wife Lucy Potts and other women in the town. Pearson was depicted as a minister in a small black Florida town, Eatonville, which in reality was Hurston's hometown. In Hurston's work one hears and feels the authentic voice, power, and sensibilities of people and places. In this novel, she used events from her childhood and the sermons she heard as a preacher's daughter to give structure and texture to this novel.

First edition. 316pp. 8vo. Hurston's first book. Hurston's first book, an autobiographical novel, tells the story of her father, John Hurston, as he and his wife migrate from Alabama to Eatonville, FL, the first all-Black incorporated town in America, where Zora Neale grew up. She published articles and short stories throughout the twenties and early thirties, worked on a play with Langston Hughes, but only one act was published, and they fell out over questions of authorship, and had completed sufficient anthropological work to complete her first book on African-American folklore, Mules and Men, which she would publish after this book. After reading her story "The Gilded Six-Bits" in Story magazine, Bert Lippincott wrote Hurston to enquire as to whether she might be working on a novel, and she replied - deceptively - that she was. She set about writing this novel, and completed it in nine weeks. Carl Sandburg called it a "bold and beautiful book, many a page priceless and unforgettable." A scarce book to find in nice shape.
