Items related to Alice Walker – A Life
Alice Walker's life is remarkable not only because she was the first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in fiction (the book that won her that award, The Color Purple, has been translated into nearly thirty languages and made into an Academy Award-nominated film), but also because these accomplishments are merely highlights of a luminous and varied career made from inauspicious beginnings in rural Georgia. Drawing on extensive interviews and exhaustive research, Evelyn C. White brings this life to light.

Review:
"White's attentiveness to personal stories as well as their historical context is the greatest achievement of this important work. ... An invaluable contribution to our understanding of a major author."
Synopsis:
A portrait of the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer draws on letters, journals, and interviews to discuss her birth into a family of Georgia sharecroppers, her activism during the 1960s, and her literary achievements.
