The Temple of My Familiar by Alice Walker
On today’s episode we are continuing our journey with the works of Alice Walker, and discussing Book 2 of 3: in the The Color Purple Collection (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H45PWYT?binding=paperback&qid=1668618286&sr=8-1&ref=dbs_dp_rwt_sb_pc_tpbk), The Temple of My Familiar.
Celie and Shug from The Color Purple subtly shadow the lives of dozens of characters in The Temple of My Familiar, all of whom are dealing with the legacy of the African experience in America in some way. From recent African immigrants to a woman who grew up in South America's mixed-race rainforest communities, to Celie's own granddaughter living in modern-day San Francisco, all must come to terms with their ancestors' brutal stories in order to come to terms with their own troubled lives.
Walker weaves a new mythology from old fables and history as she follows these remarkable characters, a profoundly spiritual explanation for centuries of shared African-American experience.
