Synopsis "The Blizzard (Penguin Modern Classics) (in English)"
If I didnt define myself for myself I would be crunched into other peoples fantasies for me and 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 and 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 and finally a journey down to the heat of Mexico discovering sex tenderness and suppers of hot tamales and cold milk. This is Audre Lordes story. It is a rapturous life affirming tale of independence love work strength sexuality and change rich with poetry and fierce emotional power
