Alice Walker's "The Color Purple"

I read this much acclaimed book yesterday. I had read a lot of praise of the book, especially from a feminist perspective, and I was apprehensive about whether the book would live up to it all, but it simply blew me away.

An amazing book. Read my review here.

The golden years of MA Eng Litt.:) Not more than 8 in a class. We had the most interesting papers including Native American and Canadian Litt besides Feminism. And no, we didnt write a 3 hr exam at the end of the year. We had to present seminar papers and often in front of these authors who came down from all over the world.
