Zora and Langston: A Story of Friendship and BetrayalThey were best friends. They were collaborators, literary gadflies, and champions of the common people. They were the leading lights of the Harlem Renaissance.

They were best friends. They were collaborators, literary gadflies, and champions of the common people. They were the leading lights of the Harlem Renaissance. Zora Neale Hurston, the author of Their Eyes Were Watching God, and Langston Hughes, the author of "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" and "Let America Be America Again," first met in 1925, at a great gathering of black and white literati, and they fascinated each other. They traveled together in Hurston's dilapidated car through the rural South collecting folklore, worked on the play Mule Bone, and wrote scores of loving letters. They even had the same patron: Charlotte Osgood Mason, a wealthy white woman who insisted on being called "Godmother."

Paying them lavishly while trying to control their work, Mason may have been the spark for their bitter and passionate falling-out. Was the split inevitable when Hughes decided to be financially independent of his patron? Was Hurston jealous of the young woman employed as their typist? Or was the rupture over the authorship of Mule Bone? Yuval Taylor answers these questions while illuminating Hurston's and Hughes's lives, work, competitiveness, and ambition, uncovering little-known details.

Feel like a cloud on the skin. Very gentle and refreshing wipes.
Size: 80 Count (Pack of 3)
I was in need of some wipes to use (for various purposes), and came across this brand. I thought these would be a good choice for me, and decided to order them. I am very appreciative of how nicely these wipes were presented; the wipes were in great shape, and has no leaking or other issues. I ordered the pack of 3, which each has 80 wipes (so, a total of 240 wipes in all). I love how soft and durable these wipes are; these are perfect for changing diapers, or for a quick refresh in the bathroom. Additionally, these could be great for pet wipes as well (in my experience). I love the way the wipes come in these very full and sturdy packs; I love the detailing that went into the design of these wipes. The flip-top is easy to use, and I personally find the cloud shape lid to be adorable. These packs retain their moisture, and each wipes feels very moisturizing and soft. I like how the wipes are larger than the other brands of wipes I've tried in the past. Each wipe is large enough to get a lot done, and has one side that is more textured (great for removing stuck-on messes). These have been very gentle on my skin, as well as my family's. I'm very fond of these Bc Babycare Cloud Moist baby wipes, and would recommend to others. I think these are a nice value, as the packs contain 80 wipes each; wipes are much larger than other brands I've tried (meaning that I don't need to use as many). Great product, and would buy again.

A good find!
Size: 80 Count (Pack of 3)
This is a really thick pack of wipes. The wipes themselves are thick and textured. You can use one or two and be good to go. A little more pricey but you’re using less wipes for each change. Overall I like them. Good smell and no irritations. They clean well.

Love these
Size: 80 Count (Pack of 3)
I love these for my toddler, they are bigger than regular wipes and have a soft side and a scrubbing side made with raised dots that are still soft on the skin. They are wet enough to do a great job and I like that there is no alcohol. Great value for the price and really sturdy quality. Diaper rash has lessened since we switched to these. I've ordered several times. Easy to use.

Best wipes I’ve ever used
Size: 10 Count (Pack of 6)
The price was so affordable I thought I might be disappointed. I’ve tried maybe 5 other brands and this is by FAR the best wipes and in perfect packaging for in home and travel use. The wipes are very thick, they do not break for ANYTHING I’m shocked. No fuzzy stringy debris like other wipes I’ve tried. Great for sensitive skin ! Will continue to buy.
