On my booklist: just heard Kathleen Collins' daughter talking about her mother, and this book on @bbcradio4 ?KayX
Colin Grant recently wrote in @guardian 'When in 1975 Alice Walker, working as an editor on Ms. Magazine in New York, received a batch of stories from an unknown writer, there must have been a moment of recognition: like Walker, fledgling author Kathleen Collins was black, tertiary educated, a former civil rights activist and had married a white man.
Walker’s tardy response – “We kept these so long because we liked them so much … I wanted to buy them as a set” – could not disguise the polite rejection that followed. For three decades the stories kept the company of woodlice in a trunk where Collins’s forgotten manuscripts lay yellowing and undisturbed. Now, through happenstance and the determination of her daughter, readers may be as surprised as I was by the rich range of the seasoned literary voice – modern, confident, emotionally intelligent and humorous – that emerges from the pages of this posthumously published book.
The stories were written in the late 1960s and 70s, when black power exploded, and have a persistently delightful quality of spring awakening, with sassy flower-bedecked students in bell-bottomed trousers and rollneck sweaters. Their free spirits are contrasted with their anxious, middle-class fathers, for whom the revolution has come too soon, and who fret that by cutting off their carefully groomed hair, their expensively educated daughters are also severing opportunities for advancement – that they will become “just like any other coloured girl”.
