The National Book Award and Pulitzer Prizewinning author of The Color Purple explores our modern world with compassion, courage, and humor (Booklist).Alice Walker once ached for retirement, but in the turmoil of the Democratic primaries and the economic collapse of 2008, she realized she simply had a great deal more to say. Leaving her meditation cushion behind, she found herself traveling the world once again to speak of our intertwined personal, spiritual, and political destinies through ruminations, poems, essays, and letters.At the height of her literary powers, this revered American novelist, poet, essayist, and activist invites readers on a journey of political awakening and spiritual insight. While visiting subjects she has addressed throughout her careerincluding racism, Africa, Palestinian solidarity, and Cubaas well as addressing emergent issues, such as the presidency of Barack Obama and health care, Walker explores her conflicting impulses to retreat into inner contemplation and to remain deeply engaged with the world.Rich with humor and wisdom, and informed by Walkers unique eye for the details of human and natural experience, The Cushion in the Road is a heartfelt response to a new generations yearning for public service (Kirkus Reviews).Walkers concern for the state of humanity and the planet comes through as impassioned and genuine. Publishers WeeklyQuintessential Alice Walker: edgy, demanding, prayerful, loving, and aware. An essential companion for those who wish to be a force for positive change in our perpetually challenging world. ForeWord MagazineInfused with a quiet grace and gentle resolve to act responsibly. Kirkus Reviews
