Gorilla, My Love by Toni Cade Bambara
Gorilla, My Love by Toni Cade Bambara. 1973 Pocket Book edition, 159 pages. Bambara was a contemporary of Toni Morrison and Alice Walker, ushering in black women's literature in the seventies. She died too young of cancer, but left behind an impressive oeuvre of story collections, a novel, and documentary film. According to her NYT obituary: "What critics found most striking about Ms. Bambara's fiction, though, were the structure and language she used. Rather than using traditional linear plots, she would often use flashbacks, stream of consciousness and interweavings of plot and subplot to tell a story. She would frequently weave black dialects into her prose, creating a unique, complex language that was widely admired by critics." Gorilla was her debut collection.
Condition: Good+ used copy
