Alexis Pauline Gumbs' "Survival Is A Promise: the Eternal Life of Audre Lorde"

  • Summary

  • Kate Wolf and Eric Newman speak with Alexis Pauline Gumbs about Survival Is A Promise: the Eternal Life of Audre Lorde. A deeply researched and impressionistic biography of one of the most iconic figures of 20th century Black, queer, and feminist thought, Survival Is A Promise is a love letter to Lorde, pushing past her broad circulation in social media memes, inspirational quotes, and other forms of contemporary iconography. Gumbs’ book locates the tectonic forces Lorde at once brought into view and moved through herself.
    Also, Rumaan Alam, author of Entitlement, returns to recommend Visitors by Anita Brookner.
