Richard Wright's review of Their Eyes were watching God

The Review that he made was extremely critical, but for a critic what can you expect. He stated that the only real thing going for the book was, and I quote, "Her dialogue manages to catch the psychological movements of the Negro folk-mind in their pure simplicity, but that's as far as it goes." And to go on further through the review, I continue to agree with him. Their Eyes Were Watching God is really a trivial book that could stand to be severely revamped. As a final thought he is a question I must ask, "But when will the Negro novelist of maturity, who knows how to tell a story convincingly -- which is Miss Hurston's cradle gift, come to grips with motive fiction and social document fiction?" That really makes me ask the smae questions, She knows how to tell the story, but the story itself must be more, robust.
