A Memory, A Monologue
, A Rant and A Prayer features Abiola Abrams' writing along with writers Eve Ensler, Edward Albee, Tariq Ali, Maya
Angelou, Howard Zinn, Erin Cressida Wilson, Michael Eric Dyson, Elizabeth Lesser, Anna Deavere Smith, David Eggers, Jane
Fonda, Alice Walker, and many more. Author,
playwright and performer Ensler hosts a collection of new, personal and often powerful essays by celebrities (Kathy Najimy,
Jane Fonda), literati (Dave Eggers, Edwidge Danticat) and feminist luminaries (Carol Gilligan, Alice Walker, Maya Angelou).
Ensler made her taboo-breaking reputation with her stage production The Vagina Monologues; here, she continues in that spirit,
calling violence against women "an issue that lives smack in the middle of the world and is still not spoken, not seen,
not given weight or significance." Ensler looks to figures such as Maya Angelou, Edward Albee and Anna Deavere Smith
to jolt readers out of passivity and into the thick of the issue.
i've been a writer since i was six... creative non-fiction, screenplays, an off off broadway play named GODDESS CITY, and my debut novel DARE was just published by simon & schuster. my words are also featured in eve ensler's latest anthology as well as the upcoming anthologies behind the bedroom door by self magazine's paula derrow and ellen sussman's encyclopedia of dirty words.
