I can honestly think of no living author that can come close to the skill and absolute beauty of her writing. In my opinion she is the greatest living author and easily one of the greatest American authors ever.
I believe she won all of those awards for Beloved? I did enjoy the book and she is certainly a skilled author. Wow i've never heard such praise, I guess i stand corrected. I'm assuming you picked Toni Morrison. I would put Alice Walker neck and neck with her style of writing, but thats the beauty of books, so many authors, so little time.
