| ad37a85 | Stepto was quite convinced (and convincing) that the frame story in which Janie speaks to Pheoby creates only the illusion that Janie has found her voice, that Hurston's insistence on telling Janie's story in the third person undercuts her power as speaker.

And, let me tell you, God's love can make us downright uncomfortable at times. | Melody Carlson |
