Product Description

 
This account of the first 60 years of Alice Walker's life begins with her dirt-poor childhood in Georgia, where her father was a sharecropper. Faced with unpromising odds--and blinded in one eye when her brother accidentally shot her with a BB gun when she was eight--Walker nonetheless pulled herself out of her background by means of a college scholarship. Her writing talent was discovered early on, and she not only published poetry and fiction but became deeply involved in feminist issues, including a stint as an editor at Ms. magazine in its early days. Walker's career culminated with her Pulitzer Prize for THE COLOR PURPLE. The author interviewed Walker herself and many of her associates in researching this very thorough biography of a major African-American figure.
