Review:
"Cooper's work reminds us of Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston.... It's a delight to read." --Alice Walker "[J. California Cooper] is my favorite storyteller. What songs she sings." --Nikki Giovanni "Yes, life is short. Luckily, its also filled with the magic of beguiling and provocative books like this." --The Newark Star-Ledger "J. California Cooper is absolutely brilliant. One of the best writers of all time." --Jill Scott
"My fifth-grade teacher . . . one day said, 'Instead of calling and asking me for advice, try reading J. California Cooper.'" --Halle Berry "Wonderfully crafted. . . . Cooper's characteristic motherly wit carries an appealing raft of characters through a world tougher than it is tender, but touched with beauty and wisdom." --Publishers Weekly
"It is as if [Cooper] is patting the seat next to us, enticing us to come sit and listen." --Ms. "A genius storyteller." --The Boston Globe "Cooper's characters are the folk heroes of black culture." --Essence "Reminiscent of Zora Neale Hurston's groundbreaking 1937 novel, Their Eyes Were Watching God. . . . Narrated with gentle wit and humor, [Life Is Short But Wide] explores the importance of love, religion, redemption, and family." --Library Journal
"Cooper writes about love as if it were a small stream, a ray of hope, a whisper in God's ear, an essence all of its own. . . . A must read full of history, wisdom and love." --Cityflight
