ALICE WALKER: 3hr interview on BookTV @ 9pm Pacific.

If you don't have cable, you can stream this very fine interview (Peter Slen) here. It will be up shortly:

She was absolutely tremendous.

The interview will re-air next Saturday.

I was interrupted a couple of times so I'll need to watch it again. :D

I was surprised to see that Slen interviewed her. He was respectful and at times even appeared a little nervous. I always took him for more of a right winger but could be wrong. What do you think?

I liked her home so much. After we painted our rooms I slacked off about hanging all our pictures back up but am now inspired to get them all hung again.

Admission here - I've seen the movie version of TCP but have never read any of her books. When she said her favorite from among her many books is Temple of My Familiar I ordered it almost immediately. I seem to be on a non-fiction jag. But after reading about Temple, I didn't resist. It's right up my alley.

for this interview.

I think I've read everything right up to TCP -- lots of catching up to do. :)

Her gardens are beautiful, aren't they? And the art all over the house is amazing.

I think it had something to do with the Middle East. Overall, it was a very cordial interview.

I got the impression that he was as taken with her home as we are.

Alice Walker is a national treasure.....

I am so envious of black women, because they do age well.
