“A Hungry Heart: A Memoir” ($19, original price $22)
“Now, if I told you that Gordon Parks wrote at least three works that combine autobiography and memoir, you’d probably ask, ‘Why?’ And I’d say, ‘Because the man Lived,’ with a capital L. Parks was a pioneering photographer, film director, author, poet, composer—the very definition of limitless reinvention. Need I say more? Okay, just a little: ‘A Hungry Heart,’ Parks’s final memoir, chronicles the extraordinary life of a man who, from a young age, was on a mission to leave his mark. It’s impossible to read this work without feeling constantly amazed or to turn the last page without finding your heart yearning for more.”
— Mateo Askaripour, author of “Black Buck” and “This Great Hemisphere”
