She isprobably best known for her novel The Color Purple, published in 1982. The book vividly narratesthe richness and complexity of black people – especially black women – in Georgia in the 1920sand 1930s. Although the novel came under bitter attack by certain critics and readers, it wasapplauded by others and won both the American Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize for fiction. Itbecame a bestseller, selling over 4 million copies, and it was made into a successful film by noteddirector Steven Spielberg. The novel reveals horror, drudgery, and joy of black life in ruralGeorgia. It gets much of its special flavor from its use of the words, rhythm, and grammar of BlackEnglish and from its epistolary style. Telling a story through letters was a narrative structurecommonly used by eighteen-century novelists, but it is not often used in contemporary fiction.Unlike most epistolary novels, which have the effect of distancing the reader from the eventsdescribed by the letter writer, The Colour Purple used the letter form to draw the reader intoabsolute intimacy with the poor, uneducated, but wonderfully observant Celia, like WilliamFaulkner’ character Dilsey, does not simply survive, but prevails.
