Description: A Recommended BOOK OF 2019 FROM Vanity Fair * Vogue * The Huffington Post A stunning collection of fiction diary entries screenplays and scripts by the brilliant African - American artist and filmmaker Relatively unknown during her life the artist filmmaker and writer Kathleen Collins emerged on the literary scene in 2016 with the posthumous publication of the short story collection Whatever Happened to Interracial Love? Said Zadie Smith To be this good and yet to be ignored is shameful but her rediscovery is a great piece of luck for us. That rediscovery continues in Notes from a Black Woman's Diary which spans genres to reveal the breadth and depth of the late author's talent. The compilation is anchored by more of Collins's short stories which striking and powerful in their brevity reveal the ways in which relationships are both formed and come undone. Also collected here is the work Collins wrote for the screen and stage: the screenplay of her film Losing Ground in which a professor discovers that the student film she's agreed to act in has uncomfortable parallels to her own life; and the script for The Brothers a play about the potent effects of sexism and racism on a midcentury middle - class black family. And finally it is in Collins's raw and prescient diaries that her nascent ideas about race gender marriage and motherhood first play out on the page. Kathleen Collins's writing brings to life vibrant characters whose quotidian concerns powerfully illuminate the particular joys challenges and heartbreaks rendered by the African - American experience. By turns empowering exuberant sexy and poignant Notes from a Black Woman's Diary is a brilliant compendium of an inimitable talent and a rich portrait of a writer hard at work.
