Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks' s wildly original debut
novel, Getting Mother' s Body, follows pregnant, unmarried Billy
Beede and her down-and-out family in 1960s Texas as they search for
the storied jewels buried-- or were they?-- with Billy' s
fast-running, six-years-dead mother, Willa Mae. Getting Mother' s
Body is a true spiritual successor to the work of writers such as
Zora Neale Hurston and Alice Walker-- but when it comes to bringing
hard-luck characters to ingenious, uproarious life, Suzan-Lori
Parks shares the stage with no one.
