This wise book is the wonderful continuation of the bestselling Wouldn't Take Nothing for My Journey Now.

Even the Stars Look Lonesome is Maya Angelou talking of the things she cares about most. In her unique, spellbinding way, she re-creates intimate personal experiences and gives us her wisdom on a wide variety of subjects. She tells us how a house can both hurt its occupants and heal them. She talks about Africa. She gives us a profile of Oprah. She enlightens us about age and sexuality. She confesses to the problems fame brings and shares with us the indelible lessons she has learned about rage and violence. And she sings the praises of sensuality.
    


Even the Stars Look Lonesome imparts the lessons of a lifetime.

Ratings and reviews

Angelou is a master of subtle description and wields her literacy like a wizened sorcerer. She has replaced Cormac McCarthy as my favorite author, and this book is the one that made it so. I will never tire of the wisdom in this book, and I refer back to it when I feel the need for a clear perspective. An absolute masterwork.
