The Color of Water: A Black Man's Tribute to His White Mother

One of the most beautiful books I have ever read
This book was recommended to me by a friend who also happens to be an English professor. I won't go into the story line as others have done so here already. Suffice it to say that it is a beautifully crafted book about love and the human spirit. Don't miss it!

Three Plays: Blood Wedding, Yerma, The House of Bernarda Alba
Federico Garcia Lorca
Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 1993
Simply brilliant
