Eatonville Restaurant presents Zora Neale Hurston biographer Valerie Boyd this Sunday. Boyd is the author of Wrapped In Rainbows: The Life of Zora Neale Hurston and is currently finishing her next book, Spirits in the Dark: The Untold Story of Black Women in Hollywood.

An accomplished journalist and cultural critic, Boyd is the former arts editor at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and has been published in numerous anthologies, magazines and newspapers. Wrapped in Rainbows—the first biography of Zora Neale Hurston in 25 years—was published to wide critical acclaim. It was hailed by Alice Walker as “magnificent” and “extraordinary”; by The Washington Post as  “definitive”; by the Boston Globe as “elegant and exhilarating”; and by the Denver Post as “a rich, rich read.”

Wrapped in Rainbows is currently available for purchase at the restaurant and will also be available the day of the event.
