Vero Flak v_ronik23fa0e — ** spoiler alert ** Here's a book I want to recommend to the best women in my life. Don't be put off if you've already seen the film - about halfway through the book, it becomes another animal entirely. As a child, I watched the film a number of times and really enjoyed it, but after reading the book, I'm somewhat appalled that its message was so watered down. The book is an epistolary novel (a form composed of "letters" rather than the traditional chapter structure) - unusual in this day and age, but something that was all the rage in 18th century Europe. I appreciated the brevity of each "chapter/letter" as well as the use of the vernacular, which is also rarely used these days. I felt as though I was hearing the character of Celie as clearly as if she was talking to me. The unfair treatment she received at the hands of men was brutal and frustrating as she would simply carry on, until she met Shug Avery and through the discovery of love, she is encouraged to turn her fate around (and not in a quick, brutal fashion, as she originally wants). The lesbian relationships in the book surprised me a bit at first - but there is nothing lascivious in their execution, nor did Walker make me feel like a voyeur. In other words, instead of writing sex scenes to "get readers off", Walker's way of writing them was more of a reflection of a movement: a physical movement, a peace movement, a women's liberation movement. I was less interested in the middle part of the book, when Nettie's letters begin describing the Olinka tribe of Africa and we are "away" from Celie, although she is the one reading them. But that part of the book has merit as well - describing the patronization felt by Africans by their African-American descendants "coming to their rescue" and the way the two religious cultures coerce and clash with each other. The one part of the book that I definitely wasn't sold on was the very end. I simply didn't believe that Nettie had survived - what happened with the sinking ship - was she simply not on it? I almost felt as though Walker tied things up in a bow at the end, having everyone together for a reunion and then Nettie and her family finally showing up... although while reading it, I got choked up with emotion. No matter. It's still one of the better books I've read in a while: A complex social commentary rendered with superficial simplicity, refreshingly presented through an original format. Read it!
