Join National Book Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Alice Walker for this conversation about the publication of her edited journals, Gathering Blossoms Under Fire: The Journals of Alice Walker, 1965 – 2000. An intimate glimpse into Walker’s growth as an artist and intellectual, Gathering Blossoms Under Fire offers rare insights into a literary legend’s thoughts, feelings and experiences on topics that range from marriage to blossoming sexuality to writing The Color Purple, and more.
