The Same River Twice. Signed by Alice Walker. First Edition, First Printing. Scribners. New York, 1996.

Alice Walker is a prolific American author whose career has been critically and commercially successful. Her work explores themes of the American South and the Black experience in the twentieth century. Her greatest literary achievement, The Color Purple, won her a National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. In The Same River Twice: Honoring the Difficult, Walker compiles a variety of texts that catalogue her experiences during her challenging and exciting years of literary ascendance. It contains interview transcripts, her journals, essays, and letters to the filmmakers who produced the award-winning film adaptation of The Color Purple. These texts, compiled together, reveal incredible changes in Walker’s life–from obscure, reclusive author to major literary figure.

This first edition, first printing is signed by Walker on the title page. It is in very good condition. In the original quarter cloth, about-fine with only bumping and fading to edges. Text block fine. In the original dust jacket, very good with only minor bumping and chipping to edges.

A very good signed first edition by Alice Walker.
