Non-Fiction Memoir
For the past several years, on a farm north of San
Francisco, the celebrated writer Alice Walker has diligently
cared for a flock of chickens. Over time, her blossoming
relationship with “her girls” became a source of
inspiration, strength, and spiritual discovery, and helped
Walker connect more profoundly with her own past as a girl
in rural Georgia. Walker has recorded this journey in The
Chicken Chronicles, an extraordinary document of personal
discovery, political commitment, and the joys of relating to
animals. Each of Walker’s thirty-eight chronicles addresses her
“girls” directly, sometimes from the intimate proximity of
her yard, other times at a great distance, from her journeys
to Bali and Dharamsala as a witness and activist for peace
and justice. By turns uplifting and heartbreaking, The
Chicken Chronicles is a new treat for Walker fans, a
powerful touchstone for anyone seeking a deeper connection
with the natural world, and a celebration of chickens
everywhere!
