Bambara died of cancer on December 9, 1995. Well known for three works--Gorilla My Love, a collection of stories; The Seabirds Are Still Alive, a collection of poetry; and The Salteaters, a novel--she had not published a new book in the fourteen years prior to her death. In this book, we are given a selection of her writings, most of which has never been published. These stories, essays, and interviews confirm Bambara's stature as a major American writer.
