This week, host Jason Jefferies is joined by Salamishah Tillet, author of In Search of the Color Purple: The Story of an American Masterpiece, which is published by our friends at Abrams Press. Topics of conversation include Gloria Steinem, Alice Walker as the first black woman to win the Pulitzer Prize in Fiction in 1983 (and who should have won it before in the preceding years), Boonville, California, how perceptions of our favorite books change over time, whether or not you should meet your heroes, and much more. Copies of In Search of the Color Purple can be ordered here with FREE SHIPPING.
