Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the Pulitzer Prize winning writer Alice Walker.

Author, poet, feminist and activist, it was her novel The Color Purple that brought her worldwide attention and acclaim. The story of a poor black girl surviving in the deep American south, between the wars, it is a landmark work, disturbing and exhilarating in equal measure.

If one subscribes to the idea that "art is a wound turned to light", then Alice Walker's early life proved crucial to her future creations. Shot and blinded in one eye by her brother's BB gun it was through the isolation of her injury that she began to write. She once described poetry as "medicine".

She has also said, "I know the world's a mess, but there's so much that's gorgeous in it. I wish everybody could have what I have."

克斯蒂-杨本周的弃儿是普利策奖获奖作家爱丽丝-沃克。

作家、诗人、女权主义者和活动家，是她的小说《紫色》为她带来了全世界的关注和赞誉。这部小说讲述了一个贫穷的黑人女孩在两战之间的美国南方深处生存的故事，是一部具有里程碑意义的作品，令人不安和振奋的程度相当。

如果有人赞同 "艺术是将伤口变成光明 "的观点，那么爱丽丝-沃克的早期生活对她未来的创作至关重要。她被哥哥的BB枪击中，一只眼睛失明，正是由于受伤后的孤立无援，她开始了写作。她曾将诗歌描述为 "药物"。

她还说："我知道这个世界是一团糟，但其中有很多东西是美好的。我希望每个人都能拥有我所拥有的东西"。
