Living by the Word
Alice Walker, Author Mariner Books $14 (224p) ISBN 978-0-15-652865-8
``An uneasy mix of journal entries, short essays, travel notes, speeches and dream fragments, this miscellany by the author of The Color Purple is most satisfying when Walker relates small personal victories,'' wrote PW. Pointed pieces tackle the modern dilution of black folklore, controversy surrounding the film of The Color Purple , nuclear escalation and homophobia. (Oct.)
