Alice Walker

Alice Walker is equally renowned as a short story writer, poet and novelist. She became very prominent after the publication of The Color Purple in 1982. Even before this, she had published short stories well noted for their excellent depiction of remarkable women engaged in stupendous struggle. Hitherto she has penned three collections of short stories entitled: In Love and Trouble: Stories of Black Women (1973), You Can’t Keep a Good Woman Down: Stories (1982), The Way Forward Is with a Broken Heart (2000). She has also written a short story book for children Finding the Green Stone (1991).

Stories from an Environmental Perspective

This paper focuses chiefly on four stories from In Love and Trouble from an environmental perspective. The effort is to place her stories in the wider context of the current ecological vision. Although not a single story directly speaks of nature and other allied forces yet a closer reading enables us to unearth the green platform and the green setting on which the entire edifice is skillfully erected.
