AALBC Mourns the passing of “Literary Lion” Paule Marshall, August 12, 2019

Paule Marshall, Author

 

I meet Marshall once, she struck me as just a genuinely beautiful person.  I think I'm a good read of people, and that was just the vibe she gave off. Marshall's passing comes less than a week after Morrison's.

 

Her 1959 book Brown Girl, Brownstone is considered by many to be the book that launched contemporary Black women's literature.
