She overcomes her troubled past by turning into a masterful planner, dealing in stolen goods and shady transactions. She erases all traces of her past by changing her identity and embracing a new life. But her skill and resoluteness do not go unnoticed, and she becomes the target of organized crime.

Book Synopsis The Fiction of Gloria Naylor by : Maxine Lavon Montgomery
Download or read book The Fiction of Gloria Naylor written by Maxine Lavon Montgomery and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2010-11-26 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fiction of Gloria Naylor is one of the very first critical studies of this acclaimed writer. Including an insightful interview with Naylor and focusing on her first four novels, the book situates various acts of insurgency throughout her work within a larger framework of African American opposition to hegemonic authority. But what truly distinguishes this volume is its engagement with African American vernacular forms and twentieth-century political movements. In her provocative analysis, Maxine Lavon Montgomery argues that Naylor constantly attempts to reconfigure the home and homespace to be more conducive to black self-actualization, thus providing a stark contrast to a dominant white patriarchy evident in a broader public sphere. Employing a postcolonial and feminist theoretical framework to analyze Naylor’s evolving body of work, Montgomery pays particular attention to black slave historiography, tales of conjure, trickster lore, and oral devices involving masking, word play, and code-switching—the vernacular strategies that have catapulted Naylor to the vanguard of contemporary African American letters. Montgomery argues for the existence of home as a place that is not exclusively architectural or geographic in nature. She posits that in Naylor’s writings, home exists as an intermediate space embedded in cultural memory and encoded in the vernacular. Home closely resembles a highly symbolic, signifying system bound with vexed issues of racial sovereignty as well as literary authority. Through a reinscription of the subversive, frequently clandestine acts of resistance on the part of the border subject—those outside the dominant culture—Naylor recasts space in such a way as to undermine reader expectation and destabilize established models of dominance, influence, and control. Thoroughly researched and sophisticated in its approach, The Fiction of Gloria Naylor will be essential reading for scholars and students of African American, American, and Africana Literary and Cultural studies.

Dream with me! A part of the book: Chapter 1. Memories Agents at the door, a car accident, Erik dead, a dark hole into which she had fallen silently. She had been dreaming, it couldn't be true, it shouldn't be true! She woke up sweating, sweating from the heat of this summer day at the end of August, but even more from the dream itself. And yet she was cold, she felt the chill of death. She realised that she had indeed been dreaming, a dream that took her back to exactly one year ago, the day those policemen had actually come to the door with their message of doom. Erik was no more, it was over, her great love was gone, never again together, never, never, never again... Never again, that was the steep slide into darkness... Silently she slipped out of bed, took her clothes to the bathroom where she freshened up and got dressed. She crept down the stairs to the kitchen, made a mug of coffee and sat down in her rocking chair with it. She stared outside, where it was already starting to get a little light. She had no idea what time it was, but she didn't care. In fact, everything passed her by at the moment. She looked, but saw nothing in depth. She thought only of Erik, the great love of her youth. In fact, he had been that since her early childhood, the boy with whom she had a click, who understood her, who felt her. The boy who was there for her, and for whom she would give her young life! Other children had teased them, bullied them, but it had hardly touched her, because Erik was there. They were together, and together they were fine. She had lost track of him for a few years, because he went to high school a few years earlier. She felt alone during those years. But he was also the young boy who showed her when she was fifteen, who made her feel that she was good, and especially that she was loved, that she was loved by him, that she was his everything. He had never forgotten her! Erik, the man she had married, because she knew that she loved him with her whole heart and wanted to share her life only with him. The man who helped her through her traumas, her sadness, her pain, her fears. She had not realised before that there was so much in her that had been lost! Erik knew, from the depths of his soul, what she needed to heal emotionally. His inner voice gave him directions that sometimes seemed so contrary, but of which she could say afterwards that it was precisely those contrary things that had pulled a lot of shit loose from her wounds, so that those wounds could heal. It took months for her to finally feel like she was discovering herself, for the first time in her life. Through Erik and her process she finally came to realise that she was an amazing woman, a woman of potential, with an enormous love and power within her, with a desire to help others in their process of inner healing. And she rediscovered what she loved so much: cooking and baking, and being with people, being there for them. That was when Erik got plans to start a guesthouse. He had previously had all kinds of jobs, jobs that he did because he needed to earn a living, but in which he could hardly put his heart into. He loved working with his hands, building things, preferably with wood. And he especially loved people, dealing with people. He had a clear goal, for as long as she had known him: helping people on their way. Not like he had done with her, guiding her for months and months, but helping them on their way, so that they themselves could continue in their own process, in their search..

No injury to her flesh from the flesh of another. —The Story of the Sisters, Welcoming Incantation The Red Grove is a special place, protected.

Some say the mighty redwoods keep them safe. Yet Luce’s mother, Gloria, has gone missing. A man came seeking answers among the Red Grove’s mysteries—a connection to the beyond—and died. And then Gloria vanished. The Red Grove is Luce’s whole world. She is devoted to its mission, its rituals and myths. But she knows that her mother, frustrated free spirit though she might be, wouldn’t just leave without a word, wouldn’t leave her little brother, Roo, and especially their aunt Gem, whose care in that suspended state of everdream depends on Gloria in every way. But as Luce tries to figure out what has happened to her mother, she discovers that this special place is not what it seems and that protection comes at a cost. The debut novel by the acclaimed author of The Electric Woman, Tessa Fontaine's The Red Grove is an exploration of the legacies of violence, the price of safety, and the choices we make to protect what we love.
