"Ships at a distance have every man's wish on board."
From "Their Eyes Were Watching God" by Zora Neale Hurston.
Zora Neale Hurston was a prominent African American writer and anthropologist, most celebrated for her contribution to the Harlem Renaissance with her novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God." Her works often explore the complexities of racial and gender identity in the early 20th-century American South, marked by her distinctive narrative voice and rich character development.
Bookends of Brilliance is an engaging podcast series exploring the art and impact of literary openings and closings.

Each episode delves into these magical beginnings, revealing how they encapsulate themes and transport readers to unique worlds.
Conversely, the series celebrates the power of closing lines – those words that resonate long after the book ends. These sentences often hold profound moments, leaving a lasting impact.
