Critics Review
“This testimony from a black sister marks the beginning of a new era in the minds and hearts of all black men and women… . I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings
“This testimony from a black sister marks the beginning of a new era in the minds and hearts of all black men and women… . I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings liberates the reader into life simply because Maya Angelou confronts her own life with such a moving wonder, such a luminous dignity. I have no words for this achievement, but I know that not since the days of my childhood, when the people in books were more real than the people one saw every day, have I found myself so moved… . Her portrait is a biblical study in life in the midst of death.”—James Baldwin“Simultaneously touching and comic.”—The New York Times“It is a heroic and beautiful book.”—The Plain Dealer“Maya Angelou is a natural writer with an inordinate sense of life and she has written and exceptional autobiographical narrative … a beautiful book—an unconditionally involving memoir for our time or any time.”—Kirkus Reviews
