If I didn`t define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people`s fantasies for me & eaten alive.A little black girl opens her eyes in 1930s Harlem. Around her, a heady swirl of passers-by, car horns, kerosene lamps, the stock market falling, fried bananas, tales of her parents` native Grenada. She trudges to public school along snowy sidewalks, & finds she is tongue-tied, legally blind, left behind by her older sisters. On she stumbles through teenage hardships -- suicide, abortion, hunger, a Christmas spent alone -- until she emerges into happiness: an oasis of friendship in Washington Heights, an affair in a dirty factory in Connecticut, &, finally, a journey down to the heat of Mexico, discovering sex, tenderness, & suppers of hot tamales & cold milk. This is Audre Lorde`s story. It is a rapturous, life-affirming tale of independence, love, work, strength, sexuality & change, rich with poetry & fierce emotional power. ...

We still always smile as we step off the plane, to be enveloped by Zanzibar`s exotic blend of warmth, humidity & aromatic spices.`
