"The wind came back with triple fury, and put out the light for the last time.
...They seemed to be staring at the dark, but their eyes were watching God."
-Zora Neale Hurston
The Loft Literary Center is proud to present The Big Read - Twin Cities. The Big Read is a program of The National Endowment for the Arts, in partnership with Arts Midwest. We invite you to discover the Twin Cities' book selection - Zora Neale Hurston's classic novel Their Eyes Were Watching God.
Founded in 1974 in a loft above a Minneapolis bookstore, the Loft is now the nation's largest and most comprehensive literary center, offering programs and services for readers and writers.
The mission of the Loft is to foster a writing community, the artistic development of individual writers, and an audience for literature.
