Walker, Alice By the Light of My Father's Smile: A Novel
Ballantine Books 1999 0345426061 / 9780345426062 Trade Paperback Fine No Jacket
A family from the United States goes to the remote Sierras in Mexico - the writer-to-be, Susannah; her sister, Magdalena; her father and mother. And there, amid an endangered band of mixed-race Blacks and Indians called the Mundo, they begin an encounter that will change them more than they could ever dream. Moving back and forth in time, and among unforgettable characters and their stories, Walker crosses conventional borders of all kinds as she explores in this magical novel the ways in which a woman's denied sexuality leads to the loss of the much prized and necessary original self; and how she regains that self, even as her family's past of lies and love is transformed.

Walker, Alice The Same River Twice: Honoring the Difficult: A Meditation on Life, Spirit, Art, and the Making of the Film The Color Purple Ten Years Later
Scribner 1996 0684814196 / 9780684814193 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $24.00. Number line: 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - 302 pages. Illustrated. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - In the early eighties, the peaceful, reclusive life of poet and writer Alice Walker was interrupted by the appearance of three extraordinary gifts: a widely praised best-selling novel ("The Color Purple"), the Pulitzer Prize, and an offer from Steven Spielberg to make her novel into a film that would become a major international event. This last gift, which Walker identifies as 'the knock at the door,' led her into the labyrinth of a never-before-experienced creative collaboration, principally with Spielberg and Quincy Jones, and the 'magic' and perils of moviemaking. "The Same River Twice: Honoring the Difficult" chronicles that period of transition, from recluse to public figure, and invites us to contemplate, along with her, the true significance of extraordinary gifts—especially when they are coupled, as in Walker's case, with the most severe criticism, overt hostility, and public censure from one's community of choice. The book is composed of entries from Walker's journals, correspondence—including letters to Spielberg, Jones, and Danny Glover, who played the much reviled Mister in the movie—and essays and articles that document the controversy in the African-American community upon the film's release. It also contains Walker's original screenplay for the film "The Color Purple," a screenplay that ultimately was not used by Spielberg and has never been published. In three new essays, Walker looks back at what was taking place in her life at that time: the onset of a debilitating illness, the failing health of her adored mother, and the betrayal by her companion of thirteen years. How do the private and the public mesh, she asks, during periods ofintense creativity and stress? In what ways do they support or weaken each other?

Walker, Alice The Way Forward Is With a Broken Heart
Random House Inc 2000 0679455876 / 9780679455875 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Very Good
Pulitzer Prize -- winning author Alice Walker gives us superb stories based on rich truths from her own experience. Imbued with Walker's wise philosophy and understanding of people, the spirit, sex and love, The Way Forward Is with a Broken Heart begins with a lyrical, autobiographical story of a marriage set in the violent and volatile Deep South during the early years of the civil rights movement. Walker goes on to imagine stories that grew out of the life following that marriage -- a life, she writes, that was "marked by deep sea-changes and transitions." These provocative stories showcase Walker's hard-won knowledge of love of many kinds and of the relationships that shape our lives, as well as her infectious sense of humor and joy. Filled with wonder at the power of the life force and of the capacity of human beings to move through love and loss and healing to love again.

Walker, Alice; Pratibha, Parmar Warrior Marks: Female Genital Mutilation and the Sexual Blinding of Women
Harcourt Brace & Company 1993 0151000611 / 9780151000616 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Like-new copy. Appears unread. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Illustrated. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Tight spine - Bright pages. 373 pages. - Part memoir, part travelogue, part photographic journey, this nonfiction follow-up to Walker's bestselling novel Possessing the Secret of Joy is an investigation into the subject of female genital mutilation, the ritual circumcision whose victims number more than 100 million in the world today. From the Publisher In her best-selling 1992 novel, Possessing the Secret of Joy, Alice Walker opened a painful door: she brought the issue of female genital mutilation, a practice that affects one hundred million of the world's women, to the attention of the reading public. For many readers, this first encounter with a subject previously unfamiliar to them was shocking and unforgettable. Alice Walker decided early in the process of writing her novel that she had not yet done enough to help stop this age-old practice. She resolved to make a documentary film that would further educate people about the harmful, sometimes deadly process of removing the clitoris - and often the remaining outer genitalia - as a means of maintaining tradition and ensuring a woman's "cleanliness" and fidelity. To make the film, Alice Walker teamed up with Indian-British filmmaker Pratibha Parmar, whose credits include several widely acclaimed documentaries focusing on issues of race, gender, and sexuality. This book chronicles their odyssey together. Warrior Marks describes a unique filmmaking journey, from Alice Walker's first letter to Pratibha Parmar proposing the idea of the film to the many journal entries and observations each of them made along the way. From California to England to Senegal, The Gambia, and Burkina Faso, Warrior Marks follows Walker and Parmar as they interview people who are concerned with and affected by the practice of female genital mutilation. The text includes transcripts of their interviews, three new poems by Alice Walker, and over fifty photographs offering a vivid and poignant portrayal of the people and places they visited. For its insights into the collaborative creative process, as well as its perceptions about the politics of filmmaking and the politics of feminism, Warrior Marks is an extraordinary volume. It is also the adventure of two remarkable women who together fulfilled a dream.
