Photograph of Zora Neale Hurston
After Hurston had worked briefly for her patron, the novelist Fannie Hurst, the two carried on a lengthy correspondence. Hurston's inscription to Hurst on this portrait refers to a passage in her first novel, Jonah's Gourd Vine, in which the blessed are given "de hosanna fan," a symbol of their salvation. |
