Gloria Naylor
Description
I don't believe that life is supposed to make you feel good, or make you feel miserable either," says Gloria Naylor. "Life is just supposed to make you feel." This insight into life's subtle rhythms suffuses Naylor's critically acclaimed work, The Women of Brewster Place, which won a National Book Award for "First Novel." In this program, Naylor discusses The Women of Brewster Place and Mama Day-explorations across the social spectrum of what it means to be black in America.
