520 1 $a"In 1965, Paule Marshall was a fledgling novelist and a new mother, endeavoring to make her career as a writer. Without any warning, she received an invitation to join the poet Langston Hughes on a whirlwind cultural tour of Europe. Triangular Road is Marshall's memoir of this spontaneous journey and the years that followed, during which she lived and wrote in the Caribbean and, eventually, Africa, As much a story of self-discovery - of an artist coming into her powers - as an affectionate tribute to Hughes, her mentor and elder friend, Triangular Road traces Marshall's increasing comprehension of the historical enormity of the African diaspora, an understanding that fortifies her sense of purpose as a writer." "Triangular Road pays homage to the people, places, and experiences that were the main sources and inspiration for Marshall's novels, stories, articles, and essays. Here, in autobiographical form, she explores many of the same issues of identity and heritage and history that are at the core of her classic novels, Brown Girl, Brownstones, Praisesong for the Widow, and The Chosen Place, The Timeless People. Affectionate and absorbing, Triangular Road offers an unflinchingly honest portrait of a young black woman coming of age as a writer."--BOOK JACKET.
