Book Description
Alice Walker(1944 -- )
Plainly, [Alice Walker's] achievements as a writer are characterized by an astonishing versatility. She is equally at home with poetry and fiction -- it's worth remembering her first appearance in book form was as a poet, not as a novelist or fiction writer. Indeed, as an essayist alone she would be noteworthy presence in American letters... But it is her novels for which she is best known, and it is her novels in which the full complexity of her vision is most evident.-- from the Preface by Henry Louis Gates, Jr.
