Sent by their mother to live with their devout, self-sufficient grandmother in a samall Southern town, Maya and her brother, Bailey, endure the ache of abandonment and the prejudice of the local "powhitetrash". At eight years old and back at her mother's side in St. Louis, Maya is attacked by a man many times her age - and has to live with the consequences for a lifetime. Years later, in San Francisco, Maya learns about love for herself, and the kindness of others, her own strong spirit, and the ideas of great authors ("I met and fell in love with William Shakespeare") will allow her to be free insetead of imprisoned.
Poetic and powerful, I Know Why the Cage Bird Sings is a modern American classic that will touch hearts and change minds for as long as people read. "Simultaneously touching and comic." The New York Times. "Regularly throws out eich, dazzling images which delight and surprise with their simplicity. But Miss Angelou's book is more than a tour de force of language or the story of childhood suffering: it quietly and gracefully portrays and pays tribute to the courage, dignity an endurance of the small, rural community in which she spent most of her early years in the 1930s...Some of the incidents she depicts are wonderfully funny. But a summary of the incidents cannot do this book justice; one has to read it to appreciate its sensitivity and life." Newsweek "A work of art which eludes descritpion because of the black aesthetic - another way of saying 'the black experience' - has been too long neglected to be formalized by weary cliches. Anyone who doesn't read Maya Angeloy doesn't want to know where it was, mcuh less where it's at." Julian Mayfield. |
