Book Reviews of A Hungry Heart: A Memoir
Book Review: renaissance man
Summary: 5 Stars
Gordon Parks is by far the most influential man of our time. He has given so much to the world in the form of photography , poems, and literature. He was well travelled and never comprimised himself in the process. I had the pleasure of hearing him lecture with Avery Brooks in NY a few years back. What an experience of a lifetime. Read his works and you will understand his importance in our history
Summary of A Hungry Heart: A Memoir
Acclaimed photographer, filmmaker, composer, novelist, and memoirist, Gordon Parks has participated in, been witness to, and documented many of the major events in the twentieth and the twenty-first centuries.In A Hungry Heart, Parks reflects on the people and events that shaped him: from growing up poor on the Kansas prairie to crisscrossing the country on the North Coast Limited; documenting poverty and injustice in Chicago to doing fashion spreads for Vogue; photographing black revolutionaries to writing, composing the soundtrack for, and directing the Hollywood movie version of his novel The Learning Tree. More than a self-portrait of the artist, A Hungry Heart is a striking account of an American era.
