I had read a book called The Color Purple by Alice Walker (you've probably heard of it). I was surprised to see how much Walker had, to put it nicely, borrowed from Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God.
A site by Rita Hooks is dedicated to Their Eyes Were Watching God , and can be found here. The site is called "Conjured Into Being: Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God".
