Description
Alice Walker's memoir, "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", is a deeply personal account of her experiences in the 1980s. During this time, Walker's novel, "The Color Purple", became a huge success, but she also faced intense backlash from some members of her community who disagreed with her views on equality and relationships between black men and women. The controversy took a toll on Walker, both personally and professionally, leading her to seek refuge in Mexico and struggle with the debilitating illness of Lyme disease. In this book, Walker reflects on the experience of watching her novel being adapted into a film while navigating the challenges she faced during that period.
