Alice Walker and Tracy Chapman aren't really talking anymore :(

 Alice Walker was interviewed by Gayle King on CBS Morning, here's what she said about her romance with Tracy :

Gayle King: What does love mean to you?

Alice Walker: "I've discovered I was not a lesbian, I’m someone who actually loves everybody, men and women. And it’s just the most wonderful thing. It means that when you are open to life, there's endless possibilities of love and it's something that actually grows in your own heart"

Gayle King: One of the great loves of your life is Tracy Chapman. From the moment you saw her you thought what?Because there seemed to be an instant attraction ?

Alice Walker: It was her voice. You know, there are some voices in our culture that can carry the whole culture and really make an emotional sense of it and liberate you into a deep love of that.”

Gayle King: I like how you described the beginning of the relationship, you said it was the first kiss that lasted 2 weeks

Alice Walker: Well I think love can be that way you know, that you kiss someone for the first time that you've been dreaming about and longing for and the kiss goes on forever, two weeks, two years. 

Gayle King: And ultimately the relationship it wasn't a long relationship but it was a very solid and important relationship in your life. Did you talk with her about including your relationship with her in your book?

Alice Walker: Not at all because we're not really talking

Gayle King: After a love so deep?

Alice Walker: Yes that happens though.

Gayle King: Are you worried about how she'll receive this?

Alice Walker: Not especially

Gayle King: Why?

Alice Walker: Because it's my life, it's my life

Gayle King: I'm like, ok Alice, what if I didn't want people to know I was dating Alice Walker?

Alice Walker: If she didn't want people to know, we should not have dated. We should not have

Tracy Chapman and Alice Walker living in one of those painted ladies, in San Francisco

(...) When George arrived, we sat and sipped wine, gossiping about the neighbors. George is the only living person who has been inside all six of the Painted Ladies. Over the years, movies like Invasion of the Body Snatchers have been filmed inside them, and various famous people have been owners. He told me how Alice Walker (who wrote The Color Purple) used to own one and would host mini Tracy Chapman concerts until the neighbors complained she played the same songs over and over. (I can understand it's only so many times before "Fast Car" becomes "Annoying Car.")

Alice Walker talks about her relationship with Tracy Chapman in "Beauty in Truth"

PBS premiered "Beauty in Truth" a portrait of Alice Walker by Pratibha Parmar on February 7, 2014. In this documentary Alice Walker openly talks about her love affair with Tracy Chapman.

Extract from DivaMag interview of Pratibha Parmar

It's quite a big deal to open your life up to a filmmaker, even if you are good friends. Was she prepared to talk about her sexuality? About her relationship with Tracy Chapman?
Yes, she did have a very high profile relationship with Tracy Chapman, so there's always this incredible curiosity about Alice's sexuality, and I do interview her about it in the film. She's very open about the other women she's had relationships with, as well as the relationship with Tracy. I think that's just her honesty and respect for people she loves and has loved.

Does Alice Walker ID as bisexual?
No, she won't label herself. She refuses. She says, "I'm curious. I'm open to the spirit of a person whether that's a man or a woman or whoever, that's not what's important to me. What's important is the spirit". Having looked at her life and all that she's done and having seen her in relationships with women and men, I think she's absolutely true to herself and open to whoever rings her bell.

Reactions to the Documentary on Twitter

I wanted Alice Walker and Tracy Chapman to be together forever, but that was my own selfishness. #AmericanMasters #AliceWalker

Synopsis of "Beauty in Truth" by Pratibha Parmar

American Masters — Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth charts Walker’s inspiring journey from her birth into a family of sharecroppers in Eatonton, Georgia, to the present. The film explores Walker’s relationship with her mother, poverty, and participation in the Civil Rights Movement, which were the formative influences on her consciousness and became the inherent themes in her writing. Living through the violent racism and seismic social changes of mid-20th century America, Walker overcame adversity to achieve international recognition as one of the most influential — and controversial — writers of the 20th century.
