Alice Walker's the Color Purple: Bookmarked

By Bernice L. McFadden

Published in 1982, Alice Walker's The Color Purple won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the National Book Award for Fiction, and is one of the most acclaimed novels of the past forty years. The novel tells the story of Celie, an African American teenager raised in rural isolation in Georgia, who narrates her life through painfully honest letters to God. Later made into a film starring Whoopi Goldberg and a Broadway musical, The Color Purple has endured as a true American classic.

In this entry in Ig's Bookmarked series, award-winning author Bernice L. McFadden writes about the effect that The Color Purple has had on her life, and her writing.
